James Frank earns scholarship for entrepreneurship course

Dr. Frank completed the course at one of the nation’s top colleges for entrepreneurship

James Frank, Ph.D., received the Babson Substance Use Disorder (SUD) SPRINT scholarship to attend a one-week SUD entrepreneurial course in August at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The SUD Sprint is a six-day bespoke program in entrepreneurship and commercialization for researchers and inventors tackling substance use disorders and drug addiction, taught at one of the nation’s top colleges for entrepreneurship. 

Following the six-day course in Massachusetts, Dr. Frank and his classmates participated in monthly meetings to continue their training. On Dec. 16, the cohort completed their course.

“This course was invaluable in not only teaching the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, but also forming connections we wouldn’t have otherwise made,” Dr. Frank said. “I met scientists who I’m now collaborating with and start-up founders who have inspired me to look at my work in the lab with a different lens. This was a profound experience!”
