About
SUD Ventures is an intense, hybrid program at MIT with a mission to spark scalable ventures that address substance-use disorders across prevention, long-term recovery, and data-driven policy. From October through December, you will complete short, pre-recorded modules and ~10 live online sessions, then spend January 19–23 at MIT for a five-day Bootcamp. You’ll build and vet a venture in coached teams, pitch to investors and NIDA, and leave with MIT’s innovation toolkit, a strong industry support network, and a certificate of completion. Tuition cost is $1080. 15 full NIDA-funded fellowships covering tuition, travel, and lodging will be awarded to SUD researchers. Who should apply? Researchers, engineers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, policy specialists, and graduate students who bring technical, clinical, or business insight into substance-use disorders and want to turn that expertise into a scalable venture. MIT SUD Ventures is launching applications on July 1st for our third cohort and it would be great if you could share this information and launch announcement with your network if you think there would be anyone interested in joining the next program! Folks can still sign up for the waitlist and they will receive an email directly from us when applications open.
