Post-Grant Summary Report

If you have or plan to include rewarding survey participants in your grant proposal, please note the following information.

In order to reward your participants, your plan to do so should be included in your budget. A couple best practices for paying survey participants for their time include:

1. Using a survey service that provides payment at the end of the survey. The service does have associated fees that need to be included in your budget.
2. Gift cards or payments to participants. Participants need to sign a form indicated they took the survey and received the gift card. The forms need to come to The Research Foundation in a sealed envelope with the PI’s signature across the seal. Other paperwork does apply.
3. Alternative options are available in limited circumstances

Please contact Debbie Fisher at dafisher@brockport.edu or (585) 395-5153 prior to completing your application and budget in order to determine the best option for you and any costs associated that need to be included.

Technology-related proposals, especially those based on new and innovative ideas, for teaching, research, and program administration will be considered under this proposal.
