University of Maryland School of Pharmacy alumnus John Gregory, BSP ’76, board chair and CEO of Gregory Pharmaceutical Holding, Inc., who also founded King Pharmaceuticals, has created the Natalie D. Eddington Pharmapreneurship Award for Health Care Innovation to support pharmacy students and their innovative, transformative early stage pharmapreneurial ideas that have the potential to change pharmacy practice and health care.
Under the umbrella of the School of Pharmacy’s Pharmapreneurship initiative and its Office of Pharmapreneurship, the visionary award will provide up to $100,000 in start-up funds over a one-year period to pharmacy student pioneers and innovators who present ideas at the school’s new Pharmapreneur’s Market competition. After initial submission of ideas and plans, a select group of pharmapreneurial students or teams will be invited to pitch their ideas to a panel of expert judges. One winner could receive the monetary award to help move their idea closer to reality.
