Participant Payments must be spent appropriately in accordance with University of Florida policy, the terms of a grant (if applicable) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) study protocol terms and conditions (if applicable). Funds are to be used exclusively to pay participants and may not be used to pay for other goods or services provided to the University of Florida. All Participant Payments must be coordinated through the Research Participant Payment (RPP) program administered by Cost Analysis.
Nonresident aliens must be paid through Payroll Services, and not through the RPP module.
Enables reliable IRS reporting and improves tracking of participant payments. Reduces the need to maintain sensitive data at the department level since the data is encrypted in the RPP module. Non-compliance with the payment policies of the University of Florida, grant terms, and IRB study protocol terms and conditions can have serious consequences. The University of Florida is subject to IRS penalties and fines for failure to file correct 1099 MISC tax information.
