SDRI’s devoted team of researchers, clinicians, educators, and supporters work tirelessly to advance our understanding of diabetes while developing cutting-edge therapies that enhance the quality of life for individuals living with all forms of diabetes. From conducting clinical trials to exploring novel treatment approaches, our efforts are fueled by our mission: to empower individuals with diabetes to lead healthier, happier lives. Innovation is our compass, research is our guide, and empowerment is our commitment.

The Challenge

Diabetes is a major public health problem in the U.S., particularly in under-served populations. People with diabetes are at high risk for serious medical complications including coronary heart disease, blindness, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, and vascular disease requiring limb amputation.

The Future

As we look at the future, and embrace the fullness of our campaign, Innovative Research and Inspiring Hope, we want to share the blueprint for the ambitious goals reflecting SDRI’s commitment to push forward and deliver purposeful, impactful advances in three core areas that define us: scientific freedom to do the nimblest, technologically-advanced science with a transformative impact on people living with diabetes; commitment to championing equity, diversity and inclusion in our research portfolio, community education and awareness building, and employee engagement; and achieving more growth and success working with like-minded collaborators focused on research and technology to solve the challenges related to a diagnosis of diabetes.

SDRI Needs Your Partnership

Leading-edge clinical research is expensive. Accomplishing our ambitious vision will require a significant investment that is only possible through a generous infusion of philanthropic support to:

Strategically drive towards standardization and interoperability of diabetes devices, including insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and automated insulin delivery systems, to facilitate seamless integration and data sharing, leading to improved diabetes management and decision making.

Thoughtfully harness the power of digital health tools, artificial intelligence, and remote monitoring technologies to improve diabetes management, enhance patient engagement, and facilitate data-driven research.

Actively design, collaborate on, and conduct studies focused on understanding the unique aspects of diabetes in women, including the impact of hormonal changes, pregnancy-related diabetes, and gender-specific risk factors, to inform targeted interventions and treatments.

Purposefully address disparities in diabetes prevalence, access to care, and health outcomes among diverse populations through targeted research, community outreach, and advocacy efforts.

Creatively design and build a state-of-the-art research facility to accelerate life-changing research for the million of people living with any form of diabetes.
