Gift Card Program

Greenphire ClinCard

The Greenphire ClinCard, a reloadable, prepaid card, is the preferred payment method for participant support and other university gift card needs. The ClinCard allows for direct, on-site or virtual disbursement and the Greenphire ClinCard system supplies a convenient administrative tool for loading, tracking, and reporting gift card payments in real-time.

The ClinCard can be used to pay subjects for participation in research and other projects such as prizes to current staff members and support athletic and student programs.

Gift Card Requests

Greenphire requires that a project/study be set up in the system through which gift cards can be issued. To set up a project/study in Greenphire and request gift cards for issuance, please complete the appropriate request form below: 

Before submitting a request for gift cards, please consider the following:

  • Who will be the main contact for the project/study?
  • Who will submit the online request?
  • How many participants/individuals will need to receive a gift card?
  • How many payments will be issued to recipients/individuals and in what amounts?
  • What FOAP will be used for project/study payments?
  • What are the start/end dates of the project/study?

*NOTE* - Greenphire ClinCard requests MUST be submitted at least 3 weeks before the necessary distribution date. This is to allow for the appropriate setup and training to take place before gift card distribution.

The Greenphire ClinCard CANNOT Be Requested For:

  • Transactions that violate university policies or regulations 
  • Payments to individuals not associated with the approved study or program 
  • Compensation, or as a bonus or honorarium to employees, graduate students, or student aides for work performed.
