Research Participant Payments
Research Payment Cards
The Visa Research Payment Card is available to researchers as the preferred way to pay research participants. This replaces the process of using cash or check payments to research participants. Please use the Research Payment Card Request Form below (electronic or manual version).
We have also begun processing Virtual Card requests, where participants are paid via an email link. To request virtual cards, please indicate on the Electronic Research Payment Card Request Form by checking the box next to Virtual Card Request, or by stating "Virtual Card Request" in the "Name of person picking up cards" section on the manual Research Payment Card Request Form. Please note, the below Excel Form must be filled out with the participant information as well.
For more information about the program, please contact Brett Walter, Program Manager, Research and Sponsored Program Accounting, via email or phone at 574.631.7990.
