About StudyPaid

Our mission

Many people have never heard that research studies sometimes compensate volunteers for their time and travel — and those who have often don't know where to start or who to trust. StudyPaid exists to help everyday people find legitimate paid research opportunities and to explain, in plain English, how participation works.

Our guides cover how studies are organized, what eligibility screening involves, how compensation typically works, what informed consent means, and the rights and safety protections every volunteer has — including the right to ask questions and to leave a study at any time.

What we are not

StudyPaid is not a research sponsor, a medical provider, or a study site, and we do not run clinical trials. Studies listed or referenced on this site are conducted by independent sponsors, research sites, and recruiters, who alone decide eligibility, enrollment, and any compensation. Nothing on this site is medical advice — please read our medical disclaimer.

How we're funded

StudyPaid is free to use. We may earn compensation from partners when visitors sign up through some links, and we display advertising. This never costs you anything and does not affect a study's eligibility rules.
