Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our strength lies in our exclusive focus and singular influence on the worldwide effort to end T1D. Breakthrough T1D works every day to change the reality of this disease for millions of people—and to prevent anyone else from ever knowing it—by funding research, advocating for government support of research and new therapies, ensuring new therapies come to market and connecting and engaging the T1D community.
Founded by parents determined to find a cure for their children with T1D, Breakthrough T1D expanded through grassroots fundraising and advocacy efforts to become a powerhouse in the scientific community. We’ve funded more than $2 billion in research to date and made significant progress in understanding and fighting the disease. We must keep up the pace of funding so progress doesn’t slow or stop entirely.
