Submit payment request

A payment request can be interpreted as an inquiry to perform financial compensation for a service. In a clinical trial, payment requests are created to maintain financial operations between the sponsor and vendors and other involved parties, such as sites, labs, and research facilities.

In CTMS, once you create a new payment request, it remains in the draft state until submitted. To submit the payment request is to establish that all the details are finalized and the request is ready for review and approval.

To submit a payment request
  1. Access the study management page in one of the following ways:

    • In the CTMS application header, select the DASHBOARD tab and then select the study dashboard of your interest.
