Dear SOM Clinical Research Community,
As you are likely aware, the Bank of America prepaid card program that has been utilized for providing payments to research participants is being terminated. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR), the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), and UNC-Chapel Hill Accounting Services have been partnering to identify and implement new solutions.
OVCR has approved a special, time-limited process (through 6/30/23) to allow the procurement of gift cards via P-card purchase. Click here for more information.
Additionally, OSP and Accounting Services are partnering to implement Tango Card as the new prepaid card management system for research participants. Click here for more information.
To stay informed of these and other University-level updates, please continue to monitor the UNC Network for Research Professionals (NRP) listserv. If you are not yet a member of the NRP listserv, click here to join.
Thank you,
SOM CRSO
