Donor-Directed Research Projects

An Association-funded research project that is "donor-directed" means that a very generous Pinnacle Society donor or donors have dedicated $1 Million or more to the Association's Research Foundation to start a diabetes scientific initiative in an area of their interest.

We greatly appreciate the dedication of our partners who have established donor-directed projects. Their contributions fund the research that incites watershed outcomes in all areas of diabetes science.

To learn more about how to create a donor-directed research project, please contact Elaine Curran at 1-800-676-4065, ext, 3413 or ecurran@diabetes.org.

Previous donor-directed research projects include:

Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Distinguished Clinical Scientist Awards

Takeda Pharmaceuticals Beta Cell Postdoctoral Fellowship Programs and
The Takeda Pharmaceuticals Cardiovascular Complications Postdoctoral Fellowship Programs

The Richard and Susan Smith Family Foundation Pinnacle Program Project Awards

Islet Cell Replacement in Type 1 Diabetes Award

The Terry and Louise Gregg Diabetes in Pregnancy Research Award

The American Diabetes Association's Case for Research: Confronting the Epidemic of Diabetes

Please visit the American Diabetes Association's Research Case Statement, which outlines the impact of diabetes, the subsequent need for ongoing research and support, an overview of the Association's research track record, specific Association-funded discoveries that have significantly advanced the field, and examples of currently funded projects.
