Payments to Research Participants

The University of Michigan recognizes the importance of encouraging individuals to participate in research and values the time, effort, and risk participants contribute to university research efforts and therefore allows incentives to be provided to participants as compensation for participating in a research study. Incentives may be monetary in nature or other gifts/prizes may be used. Participants may also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses that they incur related to their participation in research.  For additional information, please refer to the guidance.
