The American Diabetes Association Research Foundation
Founded in October 1994, the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation was created to substantially accelerate the Association's ability to raise major gifts to directly fund diabetes research.
What makes the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation unique is its ability to match a donor's interests and dollars with cutting-edge diabetes research projects through a peer review process. Your gift ensures that diabetes research will continue.
What the Research Foundation does
One hundred percent (100%) of every dollar contributed to the Research Foundation helps supports more than 406 awards at over 164 research institutions across the country, all working toward a day without diabetes. All non-research costs associated with the Research Program are paid through the Association's general fund.
The American Diabetes Association is committed to its Research Program and supported $42 million in research projects in 2007.
Our mission at the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation is to ensure the availability of funds necessary for the full exploration of all the scientific possibilities that diabetes research is generating.
