5th Annual OHRP Exploratory Workshop “Beyond Altruism – Exploring Payment for Research Participation,” September 15
Circle the date – Thursday, September 15, for our 5th Exploratory Workshop examining payment for research participation. Come hear from experts about the current state of this practice and learn about the continued logistical and other challenges with paying people to participate in research.
The workshop will be provided as a free livestream with no prior registration required. Details will be posted on the Exploratory Workshop website soon.

New! “Learn About Research Participation” Poster
