Reviewer Policies

Compensation Policy

PCORI peer reviewers are compensated for completing their review.

As part of the information entered into the Peer Track review system, all reviewers will be required to submit a completed W-9 form for tax and payment purposes.

Reviewers will also be asked to indicate their preferred payment method:

(1) ACH direct deposit, or

(2) Physical check mailed to the address on the W-9 form.

If you select ACH, you will be asked to securely provide your banking information. If you select payment by check, please ensure that your mailing address on the W-9 is accurate.

Reviewers are compensated $100 per completed review, unless you are a member of one of our peer review boards.

If you receive $2000 or more in total compensation within a single calendar year, KGL will issue a 1099 form in accordance with IRS regulations. All compensation for reviews must be reported as taxable income.

If you prefer to decline compensation, you will have the option to do so in the system when you complete your review.
