New Feature Story! Medical Research Scholar Investigates Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Physical Activity | |
| |
 Jeremy Huckleby's interest in physical activity and health disparities started in high school, where he played basketball and ran on the track team. He was fortunate; he attended a high school with trainers, physical therapists, and other amenities. But his friends at other schools did not have the same resources, and he saw them continue playing through sports injuries. "This disparity of access to resources was concerning as I saw others get more injured," says Huckleby. Now Huckleby is a medical student, and from July 2019 to June 2020, he participated in the NIH Medical Research Scholars Program (MRSP), a 1-year program that allows medical students to engage in biomedical research related to their career goals. He did research with Anna María Nápoles, Ph.D., M.P.H., Scientific Director of the NIMHD Division of Intramural Research, between his third and fourth years of medical school at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. His study focused on physical activity differences among African American, Latino, and White adults with arthritis in the United States.... | Apply Now to the MRSP!
