Health Equity Case Competition
Deadline to Register: Friday, October 21st
Clinical trials are the source of every new therapy that may someday improve or save your life or the life of someone you love. Clinical trials represent a $15.2 billion enterprise in the U.S. alone. Yet for all the promise they present – and investment they attract – substantial inequities in clinical trial enrollment limit the benefits to society at large, especially for people from historically marginalized groups that are underrepresented in clinical research.

Contribute your innovative, out-of-the-box ideas to improve health equity and transform clinical trials. 

Smith School students are invited to participate in the BioNJ Health Equity in Clinical Trials Business Case Competition. Form a team of 4-5 currently enrolled graduate-degree students with one or more MBA students. Draw on expertise from other graduate programs at UMD. Compete for $20,500 in prize money.

Register your team by Friday, October 21.
