Chance to test a med for jet-lag, travel free to France & get paid up to $2,500

[jfkeze]

i was really thinking about this late last year, even went in person to hear more about the program... they never called me backed, but considering all the hassle for just $2500, especially the 4 days off from work... glad I wasn't called, even if it might have been cool to be a lab rat just to fly a G-IV or G-V.

Yes. You are issued one. They told us that very clearly and it was in the paperwork we signed.

The drug isn't a mystery. It has been approved and on the market for a while now. They are trying to get it approved for a new indication, not as a brand new drug to the market. That is a pretty significant different, IMO.

SBM,

Do they include the costs of the flights, meals and the like in the 1099?

I saw a quick clip about Cephalon on CNBC the other day, and thought it was ringing a bell. Sure enough, found this thread. I just googled the company's name and came up with a number of news hits. Here's one story:

Only the compensation (the $2,500) will be 1099'd.
