Can
I Expect to be Paid for my
Participation in Research?
Goals
for participation in research should reflect a desire to improve
your or a loved ones health and to learn more about breakthrough
treatments while helping society as a whole. The rewards should
be secondary. No one should jeopardize his or her safety for
financial gain. Every study is analyzed as to its benefits
and inconveniences to the research participant and a decision
is made as to the appropriate level of compensation.
Reimbursement
for your time and travel is provided by HRHR. The specific
compensation may range from a small gift, to reimbursement
of travel costs and meals. On occasion, larger rewards are
offered if a significant investment of time is required.
