Academic research
Research participants your reviewers can trust.
Populiva is built around what academic labs need: verified participants, documented samples, fair pay, and fees a grant can carry.
Lower fees for academic labs
Verified university and nonprofit labs pay a 15% platform fee in their first year, on top of participant pay. Labs with a .edu email are verified automatically. Pay by PayPal, or request an invoice with your purchase-order number.
Documentation for papers and IRBs
Every study can issue a signed provenance report: recruitment, screening, verification levels, quality checks, and exclusions, in aggregate. Anyone can verify it. Our IRB page has text you can adapt for your protocol, including sample consent wording.
The designs you run
- Multi-part and longitudinal studies Save participants into groups, invite them back to part 2, message them, and see retention in the report.
- Screening and quotas About 50 profile attributes, census-matched or balanced quotas, approval-rate filters, and in-survey screen-outs that are paid.
- Spanish-language samples Run studies in Spanish for participants who prefer it. Our site and participant support are bilingual.
- Quality you can report Attention and authenticity signals on every response, and automatic refunds for confirmed fraud.
