1099-MISC Research Study

Hello.  I participated in a medical research study and received a 1099-MISC Box 3.  It is over $1k.  I have never participated in a study before and do not do this for regular income.  I answered the questions accordingly.  The amount I received is appearing on 1040 Schedule 1, Line 8z. and impacted my taxes at my ordinary tax rate.  Is that correct?  For some reason I was thinking it would be taxed at 15%. 

 

(As a side note, at the end of entering this, it said something like--good news, we can look at business deductions later).
