Who Decides How Much You Get Paid for a Clinical Trial?

There are many clinical trials seeking participants by both private and public organizations all over the country, as can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov. Participating in medical research has benefits beyond financial compensation, including the potential to help advance knowledge in the medical community and to improve the quality of life for future generations.

How much can I get paid for clinical trials?

Some studies require more time spent in the clinic, and participants will usually be compensated for their time. The exact compensation varies by organization, study, and length of time.

Why do some studies pay more than others?

Simply put –research clinics and their partners may have certain areas of research focus at specific times, so how much you get paid for a clinical trial is decided on by the drug or device company that is sponsoring the research, and then reviewed by an independent review board, or IRB. Very similar trials may pay differently depending upon the length of time and level of inconvenience required of participants. The IRB has the final say in how much a participant will receive, if anything, for each study.
