Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1
(juvenile) diabetes research worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to
find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support
of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children
suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a
continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is
not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and
devastating complications which may include kidney failure,
blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.16 billion to diabetes research, including more than $137 million in FY2007. In FY2007, the Foundation funded 700 centers, grants and fellowships in 20 countries. Websites: http://www.jdrf.org/ |
