Evaluating Payment to Participate in Research: Ethical and Regulatory Issues
Paying individuals to participate in research is a common and generally acceptable practice. However, the Common Rule and FDA regulations instruct researchers and IRBs to minimize the possibility of coercion and undue influence during informed consent.
This is often interpreted as placing limits on acceptable payment amounts.
This webinar provides a deeper understanding of the ethical challenges involved, and explore a practical framework for evaluating offers of payment.
Learning Objectives:
- Analyze case studies aimed at drawing out challenging ethical and regulatory aspects of paying research subjects
- Define the key regulatory terms of “coercion” and “undue influence” and the main risk of payment in relation to these concepts
- Describe and apply a practical framework for evaluating payment underscoring the importance of being clear about why payment is being offered: as reimbursement, compensation, or recruitment incentive
