Since the American Diabetes Association started its Research Programs in 1952, we have invested approximately $950 million in innovation studies. While we have learned much, there is much left to discover about diabetes. Today, our research investments are targeted to solve problems critical to people with diabetes. We remain dedicated to supporting all of the key aspects of research that have been part of our commitment for decades: funding for early career investigators, fostering the next generation of leaders and; support for investigator-initiated research, generating discoveries that will bring us effective new treatments to a cure. We're thrilled to highlight the accomplishments of our brilliant researchers in our 2023 Research Report. Read more!
