Study Participant Payment Procedure

Investigators or study coordinators can obtain checks for payment to their clinical trial participants from the CTO.

The process for obtaining a check is as follows:

• Payment must be made in strict accordance with the IRB approved informed consent.
• A W-9 form must be filled, signed by participant, and submitted to the CTO (room M7500) with each initial request and at the beginning of each year thereafter for the duration of the study subject's participation.
• A CTO payment request form must be filled out and delivered to the CTO for each payment requested.  Please note: 
  
  • The study participant must provide proof of citizenship or residency status to the study coordinator.  
  • The payment request form requires the signature of the participant, coordinator, and principal investigator.
• Please provide an unsigned copy of the informed consent for your trial as documentation of the payment schedule and the total amount to be paid to study participants.
• Please allow 3 business days for check to be produced by CTO
• Payment to Non US citizens will take approximately 10 business days to process due to additional review and approvals needed by the university tax office.
• Payment to any participant who is also a Georgetown University employee will take approximately one full pay period to process and that payment will show up on their regular paycheck.
• The study coordinator or PI must pick up checks and deliver to study participants.  CTO does not mail checks to particpants.
