Research

JDRF Northwest Chapter supports The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which has established a set of cure therapeutics to guide its research funding efforts. These research goal areas hold the greatest potential to lead to breakthrough cures and treatments for type 1 diabetes and its complications.

JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 research.  In fact, JDRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.

Locally, JDRF has awarded research grants to Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason, Pacific Northwest Diabetes Research Institute (PNDRI) and University of Washington Medical Center.
