About the eLab Global Panel
The eLab Global Panel
is looking for people just like you!
eLab at the University of California, Riverside, is the
pioneering virtual research lab and online panel for the study of
online consumer behavior. We invite people from all over the
world to join our panel and participate a few times a year in our
innovative online experiments and surveys about how people behave
in the digital world. All of our projects are academic research
studies conducted by eLab faculty and their students at the
University of California.

Why should I
join?
1) You will help
advance academic knowledge. The eLab Global Panel enables
University of California faculty and graduate students to conduct
original research using Web-based surveys and experiments. This
research is published in scholarly academic journals.
2) You can influence business
practice. Faculty who run studies using
the eLab Global Panel are affiliated with the UCR Sloan Center
for Internet Retailing, and interact with leaders of the
Internet retailing industry. Your answers
can influence how companies do business with you online.
3) You will enjoy it! Over the years, many panelists have
written to us that they’ve enjoyed participating in our online
research studies. Each study is unique, and our academic studies
are often quite different from typical market research studies you
may have participated in before.
4) Last but not least, all eLab Global Panelists are
eligible for prize drawings. A monthly drawing is open to all
new panelists. In addition, each study has its own drawing open to
all those who complete the study.
Prizes
1) Monthly
Prizes. Every month UCR eLab holds a random drawing for
a cash prize of $100. All new registered panelists will be
eligible for this monthly prize drawing in the month they join the
panel.
Drawings are held the last day of every month. Monthly drawing
winners are notified by email, and will receive their checks within
about 6-8 weeks of the drawing date. Prizes must be claimed within
2 weeks of notification.
2) Research Study Prizes. Each research study has
its own prize drawing, with one or more prizes (cash, gift
certificates, or product). The type and size of the
incentives in a given research study's prize drawing will be
announced when we email panelists and invite them to participate in
a research study.
Prizes for each research study drawing must be claimed within 2
weeks of notification. Any research study prizes which remain
unclaimed 2 weeks after notification will be awarded to another
panelist who has completed that study.
