Human Subjects Research Gift Cards

Process to Request the Gift Cards

To provide an efficient method for obtaining these gift cards, the UCO has researchers follow the below process to request the gift cards, see below.

Process:

1. The principal investigator or Faculty Advisor (for student research) requests gift cards by submitting a Research Gift Card Request Form from the University Cashiers, as seen below. They fill in the appropriate amount and type of gift cards requested, obtain the appropriate signatures of approval and the form will be automatically submitted to the UCO (form to be submitted at least one week in advance).
2. Once UCO receives and approves the request, UCO prepares the gift card order and alerts requestor that order is available.
3. The requestor picks up order at UCO (M-F 8:30am-4:30pm) and is given a copy of the request form. Requestor is also provided a candidate payment log. This sheet is provided to keep track of who receives gift cards and the dollar amount. Gift cards should be disbursed within 30 days from pickup and should always be properly secured.
4. The candidate sign-off sheet is then submitted back to the UCO for official documentation of gift cards given during research project and any undistributed gift cards are returned to UCO.
