In most cases this is not self-employment income, unless you make a habit of being a medical guinea pig.  Don't enter the 1099-MISC on the business side.  Instead, enter it on the personal side under other misc income.  After entering the 1099-MISC there is a page of special circumstances.  Check research subject, and then check that no services were required.

How do i deduct mileage for this income?
March 28, 2020

You don't if you claimed it as "other income". You have to claim it as self employed income to deduct mileage. Then you would have to pay self employment tax which is expensive. Try it both ways and see which costs you more. Technically if you do studies as your primary source of income you should be claiming as self employed.
