2024 Paid Research
Interested in supporting our research - and getting paid while doing it? Starting the week of September 30, we will be running a new study. All you need to do is come into our lab for ~45 minutes: we'll take a few photos of your face and measure your skin tone, then you'll take a ~35-minute computer-based test. No studying necessary!
Want to sign up? Fill out our Interest Form - we'll reach out if you are selected. Have questions? Email us at idl_info@fit.edu.
