Checking Account - OSP Funding Source  

Monetary payments to persons participating in research projects (human subjects) managed by the Office of Sponsored Programs can be made through cash disbursements, prepaid cards, and checks.

The Office of Sponsored Programs assists research directors and principal investigators to develop the optimal payment program for their research study.

Project funding is managed through the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP).  For information regarding participation in a research project, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs.

Human Subject Advance - University Funding Source 

If you are seeking a university funded advance to pay subjects with cash you are not required to work through Treasury. 

You will need to request the advance through the miscellaneous payments process in Workday. 

If you are unsure who has the appropriate roles in your college or unit to create a miscellaneous payment request, please reach out to your SFO. 

Any questions regarding the miscellaneous payment process should be directed to Accounts Payable. 

Your advanced funds are required to be secured per policy requirements.
