Re: Enrollment Incentives Forster, Marjorie 11 Nov 2009 15:52 EST
Hi Jamie: It is my understanding at my institution we do not permit incentive payments to go to a principal investigator involved in the recruitment of participants in clinical trials. There would a conflict of interest and bias associated with the recruitment of participants when incentive payments are involved. This is the language taken from UMB's IRB Manual: "Sponsor agrees that it will not make incentive payments to UMB Personnel or otherwise compensate UMB Personnel for their involvement in performing the Study." Hope this helps.
