In 2017, UAB partnered with Greenphire to provide a participant payment solution to deliver a better trial experience through reducing administrative tasks, expediting participant reimbursement, and enhancing reporting. Along with that, there is a reduction in risk relative to sites keeping cash or pre-loaded visa cards on hand. All pertinent information, including training videos, can be found on the Documentation tab.
