Where Your Money Goes
JDRF is dedicated to pursuing the most promising paths to cure, better treat, and prevent type 1 diabetes.
We bring together research, business, governments and members of the type 1 diabetes community to increase the overall volume and impact of research conducted around the world.
Scientists here in Australia attract the highest per capita allocation of competitive research investment by JDRF internationally, and this is a direct reflection of the value of our local diabetes researchers.
The researchers, scientists and clinicians working in the field of type 1 diabetes are exceptional, and with enough funding and resources they hold the key to a cure.
