Diabetes Research Connection is a nonprofit organization that empowers early-career scientists to advance bold, peer-reviewed research aimed at preventing, treating, and curing Type 1 diabetes.
We bridge the critical funding gap between scientific training and established research careers, a stage at which innovative ideas often go unfunded.
Here’s what makes DRC different:
🔬 We focus exclusively on early-career researchers, often overlooked by traditional funders.
✔️ All projects undergo rigorous peer-review by our Scientific Review Committee of T1D experts.
💯 100% of donor-designated contributions go directly to research.
🧠 Donors choose the projects they want to support — transparent, community-powered giving.
Our Impact So Far:
✅ Funded over 50 innovative research projects since 2012
💵 More than $2 million invested in early-stage T1D research
🧪 Projects span beta cell regeneration, immune system modulation, early diagnosis, and more
🎓 Several funded researchers have since received major NIH grants and faculty positions at top institutions
Our mission is simple: Accelerate promising research before it gets left behind.
Our belief is strong: The cure starts with ideas — and the people who dare to pursue them.
➡️ Follow us to meet the next generation of diabetes researchers, learn about the latest discoveries, and find out how you can help move science forward.
