About the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation

Our Mission: Advancing science to cure and prevent diabetes and change the lives of people with diabetes.

Founded in 1971 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes in search of a cure, the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) was built on the belief that the combined forces of science and philanthropy could achieve the bold vision of a world without diabetes...and that is precisely where we are headed!

Thanks to critical funding by the DRIF, the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has become one of the largest and most comprehensive research centers devoted solely to preventing and curing diabetes, as both go hand-in-hand.

The DRI is home to a multidisciplinary team of international diabetes research experts, including scientists, engineers and clinicians, collaborating closely and in real-time with cure-focused partners across the globe. As the only research institute combining immune modulation, beta cell biology, and regenerative medicine expertise under one roof, we facilitate seamless collaboration, accelerate the pace of discovery, and translate the most promising advances into actionable clinical research without delay - from bench to bedside.

We need the support of our community to accelerate the next chapter of cure-focused research at the DRI.  Donors have the power to make a difference.  This is a time of incredible momentum and excitement in diabetes research. At the DRI, our mission is personal, and we will not stop until we have crossed the finish line- once and for all.
