JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and the only global organization with a strategic research plan to end T1D. Our plan ensures that there will be an ongoing stream of life-changing therapies moving from development through to commercialization that lessen the impact of T1D. We want to keep people with T1D healthy and safe today until we reach our ultimate goal of a cure and universal prevention of T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners at every stage of the drug delivery pipeline and is the only organization with the scientific resources, regulatory influence, and a strategic plan to deliver a world without T1D. JDRF’s influence and leadership extends beyond funding research. We strategically partner with industry, governments, foundations, academia and clinicians, because curing T1D is a global, coordinated effort with JDRF at the center. The JDRF Upstate New York Chapter is located in Latham and proudly serves Central New York, Northeast New York and Western New York. In addition to funding important research, including right here at RPI, we are also committee to helping and supporting our local T1D community at all ages and stages through a variety of free outreach events. Together we are the Type One Nation. For more information, visit www.jdrf.org
