About Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Location:
3601 Hulen St, Ste 102, United States, Fort Worth, TX 76107, US
Mission Statement
The JDRF mission is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.
Description
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to diabetes research, including more than $156 million in FY2008. In FY2008, the Foundation funded more than 1,000 centers, grants in laboratories, hospitals, and industry, and fellowships in 22 countries.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives.
We take pleasure in widening public concern for diabetes and the signs of hope that medical research promises so that we may live in a world free of the devastation of diabetes and its complications.
