Updates on Research Participant Payments
We’re working closely with our partners in the Controller’s Office and Payroll Services to make sure that research participant payments remain clear, compliant, and easy to process.
The main change is the introduction of a new Research Study Participant Payment Form, which replaces the previous submission method for VCU employee participants. This new form helps safeguard personal information while maintaining compliance with university and IRS requirements.
Non-employees should continue using the Participant Payment Spreadsheet for processing through Accounts Payable.
In the coming months, we’ll also share additional details about upcoming 1099 reporting changes that will affect certain participant payments.For complete guidance and links to the latest forms, please visit the updated page:
