One of the advantages of CBDR's experiment scheduling website is that simply posting an experiment on it is often sufficient to attract enough participants. On the other hand, advertising the scheduling website benefits all experimenters with experiments posted, so advertising the website in new populations is appreciated.
When advertising the site to potential participants, this url is most likely the most appropriate:
http://cbdr.cmu.edu/experiments although the shorter http://cbdr.cmu.edu also contains a prominent link to the sign up page.
Please keep in mind the proper etiquette for advertising when associating your experiment with the CBDR website. Here are some helpful guidelines: |
| |
|
► |
Unsolicited e-mails are rarely appreciated. Keep e-mail frequency to a minimum and make sure you are sending e-mails to recipients that want them. Always give recipients the option to opt out of future contact.
|
| |
|
► |
The IRB has suggestions and restrictions as to the means by which subjects are recruited. One important point is that the financial compensation for an experiment should not be unduly emphasized in advertisements. Please see the IRB questions section if you have questions.
|
| |
|
► |
When posting flyers to recruit participants, make sure that you have permission and are following postering guidelines of the relevant property owner. |

The Master Participant List (MPL) is another service of the CBDR which helps researchers use the information collected by the scheduling website and by other researchers to find interested participants. The list includes the names, e-mails, and some demographics of thousands of past participants, many of whom have indicated that they would like to be contacted about future chances to participate in experiments for pay. |

When you contact people by mass e-mail, include a note at the bottom of the message that says something like, "You have received this e-mail message because you have expressed interest in hearing about opportunities to participate in experimental research. If you would like to be removed from this list, please update your preference here
http://cbdr.cmu.edu/experiments/remove_email.asp"
|

Limit your sending of unsolicited e-mails to a minimum. Avoid sending duplicate messages, sending messages frequently, or engaging in any other communication that could be annoying for potential participants.

|
► |
Remember that the institutional review board must approve all experimental research with human subjects. Please get your experiments approved before you begin scheduling experimental sessions.
|

Remember that all the participants on this list have expressed interest in hearing about experiments for pay. If you don't pay them, they are unlikely to be interested in participating.
