Breakthrough T1D is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 diabetes research worldwide.
About us
JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic plan to bring those living with T1D a continuous flow of life-changing therapies and, ultimately, a cure for the disease . Our highest priority remains funding research to deliver a cure for T1D and its complications. At the same time, we are also focused on developing better treatments that will transform the way people with T1D treat the disease today, in order to help them live healthier lives now and in the future. Finally, we also seek to prevent T1D, to keep future generations from developing the disease. This is all part of JDRF’s promise of “less until none”: to progressively remove the impact of T1D from the lives of those living with the disease until it is no longer a threat to them or their families.
