CARE Panel: The Ethics of Paying Research Subjects

It is common practice to offer payment to research subjects, either to enhance recruitment or to enable people to participate without financial sacrifice. While common, the practice is highly contentious. Some worry that paying subjects unduly influences their choice to participate, by impairing their judgment or by giving them an offer they cannot refuse. Others argue that we do not pay research participants enough, making participation for research overly burdensome for some already marginalized populations. This panel will debate these concerns. Questions that will be discussed include the following: Is it ever wrong to offer money for research participation? Is some payment too much or too little? What alternatives to monetary compensation are appropriate? Who should decide how much research subjects get paid? Panelists include: Govind Persad (Law, Univ. of Denver) Maria F. Gallo (College of Public Health, Division of Epidemiology, OSU) Amanda Robinson (Political Science, OSU)
