Closing or Extending a Study Procedure

Procedures

To close a study the study administrators should:

Complete the research participant visit phase of study
Record payments to study participants
Reconcile the RPP Study Fund Request by comparing payment types on hand to UF financial records and RPP
Resolve any differences
Provide the study reconciliation and list of payment types that need to be returned for credit to Cost Analysis
Arrange for a time to return unused payment types to Cost Analysis

Cost Analysis verifies balances of payment type and prepares credit to original funding source.

To request extension beyond the expiration date of the IRB protocol, study administrators may contract Cost Analysis in writing for up to a 30-day extension to complete recording study participant payment transactions and reconciliation activities.
