Welcome!

As part of the Gies Business Research Panel, you will be invited through periodic emails to participate in research studies on various topics in accounting, organizational management, finance, and/or marketing. This is a great way to participate in the leading-edge research we are conducting at Gies, share your insights and expertise, and help our world-class researchers create business knowledge. Participating in Gies research is voluntary and can be done on your own schedule, as often as you’d like. New studies, when available, will be posted on Wednesday of each week.

Note: new accounts require verification and can take up to 2 business days for approval. Verified new participants who sign up for their first study will earn a $5 Amazon ecode! These are sent via email at the end of each month. Continuing Panel members who complete studies are also entered into a drawing to win a $50 Amazon ecode each month!

Participation:
Log in to this page (https://uiucbrl.sona-systems.com/) to sign up for studies anytime! You will need to take a brief survey first. This will help us assign you to the right studies. While you may qualify for multiple studies, there may be times due to specific study needs, when you are not contacted, or studies are not available. Please note: participation in a Gies Research Lab study by a student does not earn extra credit in UIUC courses.

The Coordinator of the Gies Business Research Lab will maintain and carefully secure access to your confidential contact information.
