Innovations For Substance Use Disorders

Innovations for Substance Use Disorders (I4SUD) is an executive education certificate program offered through Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. The program will enroll 30 researchers who are motivated to solve challenges related to substance use disorders (SUDs). During the program, participants will work individually or in teams to assess if their pharmaceutical, digital health or medical device-related inventions can be transformed into innovations to address problems in SUDs. I4SUD combines asynchronous and synchronous online activities; a multi-day visit to Baltimore for workshops, clinical site visits, and community building; and the development of a business model to make participants competitive for NIDA-supported programs, such as the “$100,000 Start a SUD Startup” Challenge, and SBIR and STTR programs, as well as other funding opportunities. Participants who successfully complete the program will be awarded a certificate of completion from the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School Office of Executive Education.
