Participant compensation

Participant compensation refers to the payment or rewards provided to individuals who take part in a study, research project, or experiment. It acknowledges their time, effort, and any inconvenience they might experience by participating. Compensation can take various forms, such as monetary payments, gift cards, or other benefits. The goal is to fairly recognize the participant's contribution while encouraging continued engagement and ensuring voluntary and ethical participation. Proper compensation is essential for ethical research practices and can also help in recruiting diverse and willing participants.
