Mission Statement
Accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications
Description
DRF has led the search for a cure for T1D since our founding in 1970. In those days, people commonly called the disease "juvenile diabetes" because it was frequently diagnosed in, and strongly associated with, young children. Our organization began as the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Later, to emphasize exactly how we planned to end the disease, we added a word and became the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Today, we know an equal number of children and adults are diagnosed every day-approximately 110 people per day. Thanks to better therapies-which JDRF funding has been instrumental in developing and making available-people with T1D live longer and stay healthier while they await the cure. So a few years ago, we changed our name to JDRF:
- To remove the misconception that T1D is only a childhood disease
- To acknowledge that nearly 85 percent of people living with the disease are over age 18
- To reinforce our commitment to funding research that improves life for people at all ages and all stages of the disease
