Psychology faculty members, postdoctoral fellows/trainees, and graduate students are eligible to use the Paid Research System. The Paid Research System can be used to facilitate participants to sign up for funded research studies. Payment procedures will depend on what is outlined in the approved IRB protocol. The system does NOT handle any aspect of paying participants or the record-keeping that may be required about such payment. The Paid Research System uses the SONA platform like the Course Credit Pool, but the two recruitment systems are completely separate (i.e., there are separate links to log in, and a separate group of participants are registered in each system, although some may be registered in both). The Paid research participants consist of community members and students who will be financially compensated for their participation. Note that paid research studies are NOT required or offered as a part of any psychology courses.
