Paying participants

How we pay our participants and aftercare program partners

Paying participants

Course credit

Penn students receive course credit for participation when they are recruited through the SONA system.

Cash

We get cash at the bank with our lab's debit card (via the ClinCard method).

Prolific

We pre-load our Prolific account $1k at a time with a ProCard.

Amazon gift cards

Amazon gift cards are for occasional use, when paying someone cash is not possible (e.g. our cash ran out that day or we need to mail a payment)

Paying schools & camps

Aftercare payments

We pay $100 a week to aftercare programs. Penn allows us to consider this subject fees, so we use the ClinCard method to provide these payments.
