Innovations for Substance Use Disorders

The Innovations for Substance Use Disorders (I4SUD) certificate program is a National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) sponsored course offered through Johns Hopkins Carey Business School Office of Executive Education. The course is open to researchers and other professionals motivated to solve challenges related to substance use disorders (SUDs). Participants will be selected through a competitive application process and will be able to attend the course entirely free of cost. During the program, participants will work individually or in teams to assess if their ideas and 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.

At Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, diversity and inclusion are not just initiatives or a task force.

They are baked into everything we do. We embrace and continue to build a diverse student body, staff, and faculty because we believe our differences can be a powerful force for good. No matter how you identify (or maybe you don't use any labels), you are welcome here.

Since 2018, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School has been proud to partner with Reaching Out MBA, also referred to as ROMBA, an organization whose purpose is to empower LGBTQ+ students pursuing MBAs to become professionals who will lead the way to equality in business education, in the workplace, and throughout society. The organization offers a fellowship to LGBTQ+ business leaders in the full-time Johns Hopkins MBA, part-time Online Flexible MBA, and the Design Leadership (MA/MBA) dual degree. Fellows will receive access to professional development and networking events during their time at Carey and beyond.

Our Reaching Out MBA Fellowship is meant to:

• Increase the number of students applying to and enrolling in business schools who are interested in promoting the empowerment and representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus community members that use different language to describe their identity;
• Empower ROMBA Fellows to become leaders both during their time at Carey and following graduation; and
• Promote the mission of ROMBA – to increase the influence of the LGBTQ+ community in business by educating, inspiring, and connecting MBA students and alumni.
