I've joined a similar in-car project with Appen before. Can I still join this?
Yes! Anyone can take part in Project Salamander (P26P3).
Do I need to drive for this study?
Driving is not required for most participants. The car will remain parked throughout the session. In some cases, we may ask if you’re comfortable driving a short distance, but only certain participants will be selected for this, and it’s completely optional.
What if I need to cancel or if my session gets canceled?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please inform the project team as soon as possible so your slot can be given to another participant.
Appen also reserves the right to cancel scheduled sessions due to:
Technical failures
Inclement weather
If a participant (12 years or older) is unable to follow instructions
In the event of a cancellation, Appen will make every effort to provide ample notice.
