 国际青少年糖尿病研究基金会Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF)
JDRF 于1970年由青少年糖尿病患者的父母所创。这种疾病会突然侵袭儿童，使他们依靠胰岛素生存，并始终面临破坏性并发症的威胁。自创立以来，JDRF 已为全球糖尿病研究投入了9亿多美元。JDRF 80%以上的支出直接用于支持研究与相关教育。JDRF 不变的使命是：通过支持研究寻找糖尿病及其并发症的治疗方案。

JDRF is the leader in research leading to a cure for type 1 diabetes in the world. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide.
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to diabetes research, including more than $156 million in FY2008. In FY2008, the Foundation funded more than 1,000 centers, grants in laboratories, hospitals, and industry, and fellowships in 22 countries.
