Research Incentives Management

Incentives are rewards offered to participants for their time, effort, and insight. In Terapage, researchers can create an incentive from the study area, choose whether Terapage should manage delivery through Tremendous, or record incentives they will handle outside the platform. This keeps incentive setup close to recruitment, activity completion, and participant management.

Researchers can include or exclude participants, import lists, select only completed participants, and decide whether rewards are sent immediately, on study completion, after a specific activity, or at a scheduled time.

Streamline participant rewards from recruitment through completion with built-in incentive management. Use the Incentive Calculator to plan reward budgets, manage participants alongside your research projects, and leverage participant management tools to ensure rewards are delivered accurately and on time.

Terapage supports flexible incentive types including eGift cards, virtual prepaid cards, PayPal, bank transfer, cash, donations, swag, and company credit. Researchers can set the value, currency, delivery method, participant message, and trigger rules in one place.

This helps teams match the reward to the audience, the research effort, the country, the study length, and the participant relationship without turning the process into a spreadsheet exercise.

Flexible reward options help researchers improve participation, reduce dropout rates, and create a more engaging research experience. Combined with participant management tools and intelligent recruitment planning, Terapage makes it easy to align incentives with participant expectations and study objectives.

The incentive overview brings budget, spend, delivery, redemption, pending, and failed rewards into one place. Researchers can filter by study, incentive type, status, source, and participant, then export records for reporting or finance reconciliation.

Terapage records whether an incentive was managed through Tremendous, sent externally, imported by CSV, or manually tracked, so the team gets a unified operational view instead of scattered records.

With centralised reporting and analysis, integrated participant management, and comprehensive project oversight, Terapage gives research teams a complete view of incentive performance, spend, and delivery across every study.

Some teams may still send rewards outside Terapage by bank transfer, PayPal, internal finance systems, manual gift cards, or another platform. Terapage allows those incentives to be logged, imported, updated in bulk, and included in the same dashboard as automated Tremendous incentives.

This makes Terapage more than a sending tool. It becomes the system of record for research incentive accountability across internal and external reward workflows.

By combining automated rewards, external incentive tracking, and unified reporting and analysis, Terapage provides a single source of truth for incentive management across all studies, participants, and reward channels.

Terapage incentive settings give administrators control over default currency, timezone, date and number formats, incentive ID prefix, approval thresholds, daily sending limits, budget alerts, redemption notifications, audit trails, data retention, and whether participant data is masked in exports.

This gives agencies, enterprise teams, and research operations leaders the flexibility to run incentives at scale while preserving transparency, compliance, and financial control.

Combined with reporting and analysis, research project management, and enterprise-grade governance controls, Terapage helps organisations manage incentives with confidence while maintaining compliance, accountability, and operational efficiency at scale.
