A $5 million grant secured by the university's William Magee Institute for Student Wellbeing is allowing the School of Pharmacy to tackle addiction stigma in Mississippi's healthcare system. Meagan Rosenthal, associate professor in the Department of Pharmacy Administration and interim director of the Magee Institute, is the project's principal investigator.
The grant is funding work related to substance use disorder, with the goal of reducing drug use across Mississippi, particularly among young people. The School of Pharmacy, School of Applied Sciences, School of Education, Baylor University's School of Education and Shatterproof, a nonprofit organization focused on transforming addiction treatment and ending stigma, are all involved in different components of the project.
The pharmacy school team will be focusing on stigma and continuing education for health professionals.

David Colby, professor of medicinal chemistry and research professor in the Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, has been named to the National Institutes of Health-funded, competitive IDeA Regional Entrepreneurship Development, or I-RED, program.
"I-RED is made up of key states in the regional Southeast that received less funding from the NIH compared to more populated ones," Colby said. "Their goal is to help faculty who are interested in or have already created a startup to successfully launch it in partnership with their institution's technology transfer office."
