Health Access Challenge
+400 Points
Historically, clinical research has not reflected the population of the United States when it comes to important factors. This leads to disproportionate health outcomes that can cost lives. How might we help to ensure that medical research participation is more representative of the U.S. population?
Note: This Challenge is still available to complete to earn points and add to your resumes! The prize money was awarded in the past.
Skills you'll develop
