ear Friend of JDRF:
Welcome to our Web site!
DRIVEN by the needs of people with diabetes, the mission of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. We work to accomplish this by finding and funding the best and most relevant research to help achieve a cure for this devastating disease through
* Restoration of normal blood sugar levels
* Avoidance and reversal of complications
* Prevention of diabetes and its recurrence
We hope the information our site provides will be so rich and compelling that everyone on the World Wide Web with an interest in research focused on finding a cure for diabetes and its complications will learn and join us in our mission.
We view the Web as one of our best means of informing the public about the important progress of our research. JDRF's research program, now structured along a business-world model, has enabled us to become one of the primary catalysts for the accelerated pace of diabetes research. Our total program is now "research with a mission." In fact, the information flow about our research programs increases daily; change is such a constant that the Web - now a medium for virtually instant communication - is the best way to keep up-to-date on our programs and progress that help us generate the funds to support the research that will bring us the cure.
Through our Web site, you can also get information on becoming a member of the JDRF family. Depending on your interest and time, you can
* Support JDRF, through an individual contribution
* Volunteer with your local chapter to help on a variety of projects
* Participate individually or as a team at one of the sites of our national "Walk to Cure Diabetes"
* Work as one of our devoted and generous Corporate Partners
We keep our Web site updated because we want you to become a frequent visitor, learning more about our latest research, accessing our database of funded research centers and projects, getting current information about our advocacy efforts, and obtaining updated news about the activities of our more than 110 chapters and affiliates worldwide.
We thank you for visiting us and welcome your comments. We invite you to return as often as possible.
With your help, we are moving research from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside, translating scientific advances into longer, healthier lives for those with diabetes. With your help, we are moving closer to our goal ... a cure for diabetes and its complications.
