Academic research is a collaborative endeavor. Faculty members work with post-docs, grad students, and undergrads. Sometimes one lab collaborates with another. During the course of such work, resources sometimes need to be shared or redistributed. At TurkPrime, we have sought to make part of this sharing easier by allowing researchers to transfer funds from one user’s lab balance to another. In this blog, we demonstrate how to use this feature.
In order to transfer funds from your TurkPrime Lab balance into another user’s TurkPrime Lab balance, find the Transfer Funds option in the dropdown beneath the user icon on the main header.
We know several researchers would like the option to transfer funds between their MTurk balance and their TurkPrime lab balance. However, because MTurk and TurkPrime are separate companies, this is currently not possible. We also know that researchers often need to track spending or share money in ways that go beyond what they currently can do. For this reason, we’re working on expanding our set of classroom and lab tools to make collaborating among researchers and labs even easier.
