Breakthrough T1D South Carolina

Breakthrough T1D's mission is to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat type 1 diabetes and its complications.

Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Breakthrough T1D's goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's lives until we achieve a world without T1D. Breakthrough T1D collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, policy influence, and a working plan to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D.

Breakthrough T1D - the new name:

After two years of research and feedback from the type 1 diabetes community, the name JDRF was changed to Breakthrough T1D. This name better explains who we are today-the leading global T1D organization working to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat T1D and its complications.

As an organization grounded in science and community, we knew we needed to take a scientific- and community-centric approach to evolving our brand.
That's why we surveyed thousands of people who live with T1D, their caregivers, researchers, healthcare professionals and industry leaders to inform this change. We did that through both quantitative and qualitative methods.
