You will receive a text and/or email no more than 5 business days after your visit alerting you that you have a payment available. You will have the option to be compensated through direct deposit, push to your debit card, Zelle or paper check.
Some studies we compensate on a per visit basis and some pay per completion of the entire study. The compensation amount will be outlined in the Informed Consent you sign before participating in the study.
Compensation for Study Participation
Panelists will be compensated either for completing the study or for completing some visits. Compensation varies between studies, and it will be outlined in the Informed Consent, which you will receive before you participate in the study. You will have the option to be compensated through direct deposit, push to your debit card, Zelle or paper check. You will receive a text and/or email no more than 5 business days after your visit alerting you that you have a payment available.

Cancelling or Rescheduling a Return Visit
If you are already enrolled on a study and cannot make your return appointment, please reach out to your assigned study coordinator. Their contact information is on your study paperwork.
If it is your first visit please bring a valid photo ID or passport, any products requested by your recruiter, a list of your currently used medications (if applicable), and a great attitude.
If you are enrolled and coming to a return visit, please bring your diary and all test products used on the study.
We are required to follow the client's requirements for the study, and unfortunately it meant you didn't meet their requirements. We try our best to get everyone on a study that they would qualify for. The requirements are different for every study, so if you didn't qualify for one, it doesn't mean you won't qualify for another one of our studies. We always have new studies coming up that you can qualify for.
A study filling means that we have met the required number of panelists needed for that study and cannot accept anymore. We understand your frustration when you have planned things around your appointment and you are turned away. If this happens, we always contact our panelists as soon as we are notified the study has filled. When we schedule panelists, there is always a chance that the study will fill earlier than expected, and our recruiting team reviews this during the screening process with the panelists so there are no surprises. If a study fills early, we try our best to get you onto another study that fits you best.
This typically occurs when a client postpones or cancels a study. We contact scheduled panelists as soon as we are notified.
Yes, on very rare occasions we do have studies on the weekends.
This depends upon the time of the year and our clients requests for tests. We keep our website updated daily, so please check the list of studies for Phoenix and for Dallas or call us at 833-530-7596.
This depends upon the study requirements but a majority of our studies require a 2-4 week break period before you can participate on another study. The break period for each study is listed on the study page on the website.
Please call us at 833-530-7596 Monday through Friday from 9:00AM-7:00PM CST.
Sometimes we get more people applying than we are able to contact about a study, or when you applied the information provided wasn't correct and we haven't been able to get in touch with you. Please call us. We are happy to hear from you!
