I 2 The American Diabetes Association provides grant funding for Research grants to the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation. The Association closely monitors the use of grant funds in the United States. Each grantee is required to submit an Annual Progress Report, which includes a scientific and a financial portion, 30 days after the end of each previously committed funding year. Each year of funding after the first is contingent upon approval of the Annual Progress Report and the availability of funds. If the complete report is not received within 90 days after the due date, the award will be terminated.
I 2 Continued... After the completion of the final year of the grant, a Cumulative Final Report, which includes a scientific and financial portion, is due within 60 days after the expiration date of the grant. If the complete final report is not received by the due date, the grantee will not be eligible to apply for any future American Diabetes Association Research Foundation awards until the obligations for the award are complete. This process is monitored and reviewed by the American Diabetes Association Scientific /Medical Management for award status and compliance.
I 2 Continued... The Association also provides grants and scholarships for persons with diabetes and their families to attend camp programs. In 2011, the Association made it possible for 6,500 children and teens with diabetes to share in the summer camp experience through one of the 53 weeks of camp the Association offered in 40 locations in 25 states or at one of the camps by other organizations that met the Associations high standards of care.
I 2 Continued... Camp provides an outdoor recreational experience in which the child for children with diabetes ages 8-18 can develop as a person while including informal education about the management of diabetes. Children are carefully supervised by a staff of doctors, nurses, dietitians, and other volunteers and staff. Program Evaluation and outcome measurement provide valuable data to the Association regarding camp programs and how to improve them.
I 2 Continued... An assessment/planning meeting including camp volunteers and staff leadership is held within two months of the conclusion of the camp session. At this time, camp results are evaluated and compared to goals. The strengths and weaknesses of the camp program, opportunities for growth and improvement, emerging issues and needs and the viability of continuation/initiation of new programs are evaluated.In addition, the American Diabetes Association also provides grants to support Advocacy programs. The grant provided to Disability Rights Education Defense Funds, Inc. DREDF was in support to their work on behalf of children with diabetes, specifically related to Safe at School campaign.The on-going collaborative relationship with the Association allows the monitoring of the use of fund.

Form 990 Part III 4 Together we Can Change the Future of DiabetesOur mission, to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes, can be seen in everything we do. Diabetes is a growing epidemic that is taking a physical, emotional and financial toll on our country. In 2007, the total annual economic cost of diabetes in medical expenditures and lost productivity was estimated to be 174 billion. Factoring in the additional costs of undiagnosed diabetes, prediabetes and gestational diabetes brings the total cost to 218 billion. Recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes by 2050 if present trends continue. In the United States, nearly 26 million people are living with diabetes and another 79 million have prediabetes and are at risk of developing the disease. For all of those individuals, their families and health care professionals, the American Diabetes Association works tirelessly every day to provide valuable programs and lifesaving resources, while moving us closer to a cure. A vision of life free of diabetes and all its burdens guides all of our work. Our Programs and activities touch the lives of people all over the world the promising researcher on the verge of finding a cure, the health care professional seeking the latest standards of care for patients, and the parent of a newly diagnosed child in need of support. Our commitment is unwavering and our impact is far-reaching.ResearchCommitment to a CureWe envision a world where research leads the way to putting an end to diabetes. Our funding creates a strong pipeline of innovative diabetes investigators who are dedicated to uncovering new ideas in diabetes research, translating discoveries into improved treatments and leading us toward an eventual cure for diabetes. Our commitment has contributed to hundreds of scientific accomplishments that help people with diabetes lead healthier, more productive lives, including drugs to control the disease like newer forms of insulin and new diabetes management technologies, including insulin pumps and handheld blood glucose meters. The American Diabetes Association Research Foundation allocated 100 of its funds to support scientific investigators around the country who are engaging in research aimed at preventing, treating, and curing diabetes. In 2011, the American Diabetes Association and its Research Foundation made 33.6 million available for diabetes research. The Association supported more than 400 research projects at 139 leading research institutions in the United States. Over the years, through our continuing commitment to research, the American Diabetes Association has invested more than 600 million in diabetes research and provided funding for nearly 4,000 research projects.The primary goals of the Associations Research Program are 1. Support the highest quality science across the broad spectrum of diabetes research 2. Support investigators early in their careers to encourage them to dedicate their efforts to diabetes research, and 3. Support innovative research with a high potential to have a significant impact for patients with diabetes.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... Types of Research AwardsThe American Diabetes Association Research Program supports basic and clinical/translational diabetes research aimed at preventing, treating and curing the disease. The diabetes research projects we support cover the spectrum from islet cell biology and transplantation techniques, to education and behavioral issues. Our core program offers investigator-initiated funding for basic science and clinical/translational research awards. Believing in the drive and potential of young and promising researchers, we also offer training awards to support scientists interested in diabetes research at various stages through their careers -- from medical school through assistant professorship. In fact, 97 of researchers supported by the Association continue their careers in diabetes research. The Career Development and Junior Faculty awards, for example, provide young scientists the salary and research support necessary to establish a track record of success that will allow them to receive increased funding opportunities from the National Institutes of Health NIH. Our mentor-based training awards match clinical students and recent doctoral candidates with outstanding senior scientists to help them strive towards careers in research. The Associations Research Program provides general grant support to both new and established investigators, specialized grants assisting clinical and innovative researchers, and opportunities for investigators as they advance their careers and the field of diabetes research and care.Headlines from projects supported by the American Diabetes Association Research Program in 2011 included- Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Increase Risk of Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, January 2011- Sperm Stem Cells Hold Promise for Type 1 Diabetes Treatment, February 2011 - Software Accurately Predicts Optimization of Type 1 Diabetes Treatment, March 2011- Insulin Signaling in the Brain Controls Fat Metabolism, April 2011- Changes in Amino Acid Levels Following Gastric Bypass May Improve Diabetes, May 2011- Intensive Problem-Solving Training Improves Diabetes Self-Management in Low-Income Patients, June 2011- Evaluating the Risk of Eating Disorders in Teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes, July 2011- Effects of bariatric surgery in patients with diabetes, July 2011- Bone Marrow Stem Cells Hold Promise for Treating Diabetes-related Foot Complications, September 2011- Saturated vs. Unsaturated Why Some Fats are Healthier Than Others, October 2011 - Estrogen in the Brain Prevents Obesity in Women, November 2011- Minority Undergraduate Internship MUI funds the training of an underrepresented minority undergraduate student, January 2006 to presentPromotion of Scientific Medical ResearchScientific SessionScientific Sessions -- the world largest scientific and medical meeting focused on diabetes and its complications -- exemplifies the American Diabetes Association leading role in the diabetes landscape, while functioning as an important platform for driving diabetes awareness. The Association 71st Scientific Sessions was held in San Diego in June 2011 and brought together more than 16,000 scientists, health care professionals, and other members of the diabetes community from around the world. Scientific Sessions also generated 7.2 billion media impressions the number of people who may have seen, heard, read, or otherwise noticed media coverage worldwide. Throughout the five days of the meeting, there were more than 3,000 educational presentations that included lectures, debates, case discussions, and original research in oral and poster sessions. In addition, more than 175 companies showcased their latest products and services in the Exhibit Hall. The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions continues to be the premier global meeting presenting the most up-to-date information on the research and best clinical practice strategies of the prevention, treatment, and management of the disease.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued ... AdvocacyFighting For Your Future on the Front linesThe American Diabetes Association is an active advocate for everyone affected by diabetes. From Capitol Hill to statehouses around the country, we work tirelessly to promote laws and policies that meet the needs of people who have, or are at risk for, diabetes. We are leading the charge at both the federal and state levels calling for increased funding for vital research and prevention programs and improving access to affordable, quality health care.And our advocacy work does not end there. The Association has trained advocates around the country who represent those with diabetes who need a raised voice to protect their rights at school, work and elsewhere in their lives. A growing volunteer network of more than 700 attorneys, 300 healthcare professionals and 100 advanced school advocates help thousands facing discrimination because of their diabetes. Our efforts have resulted in regulatory change in nearly 25 states that protect our constituent rights. The Association is there in school meetings, in court, at the statehouse fighting for someone with diabetes who has been placed at risk.In 2011, the Association advocacy work resulted in a significant number of victoriesThe Association celebrated its first full year of the Advocates in Action initiative, which continues to build capacity in local communities across the nation to engage people affected by diabetes in advocacy efforts. Both new and seasoned Diabetes Advocates were encouraged to get involved via a calendar of advocacy activities including efforts to keep kids safe at school, recess meetings with Members of Congress, submitting letters to editors and speaking to local community groups.In March 2011, more than 200 Diabetes Advocates descended on Capitol Hill for the Association biannual Call to Congress Stop Diabetes. In addition to more than 250 meetings with Members of Congress and their staff to talk about funding for diabetes research and programs and to seek additional members of the Congressional Diabetes Caucuses, the Association was featured in a press event on the Affordable Care Acts impact on people with chronic diseases. Attendees also participated in training and planning sessions as part of their pledge to continue as advocacy leaders in their local communities.The Association raised its presence in Washington, D.C. through six Congressional briefings on issues ranging from diabetes research to launching our gestational diabetes bill testimony by the Association Chair of the Board before the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee on primary prevention and the thousands of Advocates who made their voices heard through online action alerts and Call to Congress days. A Presidential Proclamation was issued during American Diabetes Month followed by a resolution in the Senate and public service announcements recorded by more than 30 Members of Congress. The Association tireless efforts to protect the Affordable Care Act and to ensure that it is implemented in ways that best meet the needs of those with, and at risk for, diabetes included more than 30 letters and formal comments to Congress and the Administration as well as numerous briefings and meetings with high level officials. Among the Association successes are inroads in funding the National Diabetes Prevention Program through Medicaid and Medicare, and a Congressional recommendation of 10 million in funding free screening for gestational diabetes in all pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation and atthe first prenatal visit for pregnant women identified to be at high risk for diabetes.The Association continued its leadership role in promoting equal employment opportunity for people with diabetes. Culminating years of effort, new federal regulations contain strong provisions solidifying that people with diabetes are protected from discrimination. And, under the leadership of President of Medicine Science, the Association collaborated with the State Department to develop medical clearance standards for Foreign Service officers with insulin treated diabetes ending a blanket ban and providing a model for other federal agencies.The Safe at School Campaign continued to protect the health and educational opportunities of children with diabetes across the country. Trained volunteers conducted more than 200 workshops for parents and school personnel. The Association lawsuit regarding access to insulin was briefed in the California Supreme Court with an impressive list of federal and state agencies, diabetes experts, school and civil rights advocates filing briefs in support of the Association position that trained school personnel should be allowed to help students with diabetes. The Association continued its opposition to the growing practice of school districts segregating students with diabetes in special schools to receive diabetes care, buoyed by support from the federal Departments of Justice and Education and a Florida administrative law judges determination the practice constitutes unlawful discrimination. A more aggressive marketing and communications platform around the Association school efforts included a radio press tour aired by more than 2,000 radio stations and network affiliates, reaching an estimated 5 million listeners a news releasepublished by more than 700 media outlets and increased visibility throughout the Association print, direct mail, online and social media outlets.A new position statement on diabetes and driving was created to provide critical guidance to state driver licensing agencies on appropriately assessing the fitness of drivers with diabetes, combating state policies that vary wildly and are sometimes unfair. As one example of numerous successful efforts to prevent reductions in insurance benefits at the state level, Washington State was poised to severely restrict the access to glucose monitoring for children covered by state plans an action that was watched around the country until a sustained advocacy effort resulted in an expansion of access for these vulnerable children.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... Public Awareness and SupportImpacting Our CommunitiesIn 2011, approximately 1.9 million Americans aged 20 years or older heard the words you have diabetes. While nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes 8.3 percent of the U.S. population, unfortunately, 7 million of those are unaware they have this life threatening, chronic disease. Yet, early diagnosis is critical to successful treatment and delaying or preventing some of its complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, amputation and death. As diabetes has reached epidemic proportions, the Association is leading the call to all Americans to ensure that the general public has a full understanding that diabetes is not merely a condition, but a disease with deadly consequences. To increase the public awareness of diabetes, the American Diabetes Association reaches out to people affected by diabetes and their families and caregivers, at risk populations, health care professionals and the general public via targeted public awareness efforts and educational programs.The American Diabetes Association takes every opportunity to integrate critical public awareness messages into virtually every program and fundraising activity we do. Each of the 39.5 million pieces of direct mail that the Association sent out in 2011 contained an important, health oriented call to action, including take the diabetes risk test, see a health care professional or learn more about preventing diabetes and its complications. All of the Association special event activities and community based outreach events incorporate those same messages and calls to action.Stop DiabetesrStop Diabetes is the movement to end the devastating toll that diabetes takes on the lives of millions ofindividuals and families across the United States. Launched in November 2009, Stop Diabetes is the largest coordinated public awareness effort ever launched by the American Diabetes Association. It aims to inspire and mobilize the general public, volunteers, donors, corporations, and the scientific and medicalcommunities to rally around our cause. Stop Diabetes is threaded through every campaign, program andactivity offered by the Association as the visual personification of our mission and the reason for all of ourefforts.The main goals of the Stop Diabetes movement are to educate the general public about the devastating physical, emotional and financial toll diabetes wreaks every hour, every day, every year on tens of millions of American children and adults ignite a sense of urgency about diabetes and its deadly consequences and inspire individuals, families, communities, corporations and health care providers to get involved and join the movement to change the future of diabetes. Stop Diabetes provides millions with the opportunity to get involved and help raise awareness, promote healthy living, and raise money to fund educational outreach, advocacy efforts and critical research that will ultimately stop diabetes, once and for all.In 2011, two cornerstone events of the Stop Diabetes movement helped raise awareness and inspire individuals, communities and corporations across the country to join the cause.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... American Diabetes Association Alert DayrAmerican Diabetes Association Alert Day is an annual one day ,wake up, call to inform the American public about type 2 diabetes risk factors and the importance of understanding your personal risk for this disease. Observed on the fourth Tuesday of every March, Diabetes Alert Day leverages multiple media channels and community based outreach events to encourages Americans to take the Diabetes Risk Test either on line, in-person, or by calling 1 800 DIABETES. The 23rd American Diabetes Association Alert Day took place on March 22, 2011. Overall, our online efforts generated more than 215,000 page views and our social media efforts generated more than 12 million impressions. In addition, our national and local media coverage generated more than 306 million impressions. More than 600,000 diabetes risk tests were distributed in concert with these efforts.American Diabetes MonthrObserved each November, American Diabetes Month ADM incorporates local and national activities that focus on people with diabetes and all those affected by diabetes to raise awareness about the disease as well as its potentially life threatening complications.During ADM in November 2011, the Association utilized a Facebook focused campaign to ask Americans to Raise Their Hand to Stop Diabetesr by taking a pledge and sharing messages with friends and family. Through various high impact promotional activities, the Association gained thousands of additional supporters for its Stop Diabetes movement while helping people nationwide understand the urgency of the Association mission. Total outreach was tallied at more than 380 million impressions, which included national, and local media coverage, social media efforts, Association promotional channels and collaborative efforts.American Diabetes Association EXPOFor decades, the American Diabetes Association has been reaching those living with diabetes, those at risk and those unaware they are affected by diabetes by building relationships in communities around the country. The Association EXPO is the nation premier diabetes education and awareness initiative. We bring together concerned audiences and leading brands to promote awareness, highlight the latest in diabetes products and services and provide countless opportunities for individuals to engage with Association activities and educational content. In 2011, more than 60,000 people attended American Diabetes Association EXPO around the country to learn how to live healthy, be active and change the future of diabetes for themselves and their families. Of those, more than 28,390 people participated in health screenings. In addition, more than 2,660 volunteers worked together to support EXPO in 11 markets.Living With Type 2 Diabetes ProgramEach year, 1.9 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes, the majority of those with type 2 diabetes. In 2011, the American Diabetes Association made it a priority to serve those newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes by launching its newly diagnosed patient initiative, Living With Type 2 Diabetes, in April. With funding from Walmart Foundation, Splenda, Boehringer Ingelheim, Lilly, BrightSky, and Kraft Foods, this program offers primary care providers a free resource to give to their patients at diagnosis, while providing a year worth of support to those newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes via a series of digital or print information packets in either English or Spanish to help them navigate their first year with the disease. In 2011, the Association received more than 7,000 orders from primary care providers and disseminated more than 360,000 copies of the initial booklet, Where do I Begin. As of December 2011, more than 62,200 people were enrolled in the Living With Type 2 Diabetes program.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued ... Reaching High Risk PopulationsCertain populations are disproportionally affected by diabetes, including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, women, and older adults. To help curb this inequity, the Association has put targeted community based programs in place and works closely with civic, social, faith based and health care representatives within these communities. The Association also frequently partners with other community and health organizations, such as the National Diabetes Education ProgramNDEP, and hosts an annual Disparities Partnership Forum that focuses on type 2 diabetes and co morbidities in high risk populations.We work locally to raise awareness and provide free educational resources that empower people to take control of their health. Our community and faith based programs and workshops give individuals, families, schools, and communities critical guidance and culturally competent tools and resources to help those affected by diabetes take control and make healthful lifestyle choices. Our programs help foster lifetime relationships, positive attitudes and behaviors needed to prevent and manage diabetes. Across the country, the Association offers targeted programs helping tens of thousands each year. Latino Hispanic, The rates of diabetes in the Latino community are almost double those of non Hispanic whites. Through our Por tu Familia program, targeting primarily Latino Hispanic populations, the Association provides high impact education to the Latino community in English and Spanish about the seriousness of diabetes and the importance of regular exercise and healthy eating. Given the diversity within the Latino community, Por Tu Familia employs a multifaceted approach, adaptable to a variety of community settings. Our outreach activities include workshops such as including Health and Flavor in the Latino Kitchen Salud ysabor en la cocina latina, a nutrition workshop, With All My Heart De todo corazon, a cardiovascular health workshop and Everybody Dance for Your Health Todos a bailar para su saludr, a physical activity workshop, as well as Feria de salud por tu familia, a street health fair that brings together thousands of community members interested in learning more about diabetes and diabetes management.Latino Initiatives Por tu Familia reached out to more than 13,000 participants through Conferencias and Ferias in 2011. The Associations Spanish-version Facebook page, which launched in January 2011, generated more than 16,000 daily page views, nearly 7,000 unique users and 2,000 Likes. The latest Facebook tabs on Viviendo con diabetes tipo 2 Living With Type 2 Diabetes and 7 Pilares para el control de la diabetes 7 Pillars to control your diabetes generated 4,290 and 3,611 views respectively during its early live hours. This tool has been made possible due to the generous support of a Medtronics grant. The Spanish version of MyFoodAdvisor continued to expand as well adding 47 new recipes. African American. The Association Live Empowered program aims to increase awareness of the higher rates of diabetes among African Americans. According to the Center for Disease Control and prevention CDC, 4.9 million or 18.7 percent of non Hispanic blacks in the U.S. aged 20 years or older have diabetes. Live Empowered deepens the impact of diabetes education delivered to this audience about the seriousness of diabetes and its complications by teaching the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices and educating those with or at risk for developing diabetes about prevention and management. Community and faith based educational programs and workshops such as I Decide to Stop Diabetes Day at Church and Project POWER are important components of the Association Live Empowered initiative. One of its major campaigns, ID Day, experienced another successful year reaching more than 600,000 people in 1,083 churches in one month. Celebrities David and Tamela Mann from the TBS hit show Tyler Perry Meet the Browns served as the Association ID Day spokespersons for the second year. Additional 2011 highlights included the African-American Initiatives, Governmental Affairs and the Womens Workgroup WomenSymposium hosted during the Congressional Black Caucus. The events stellar panelists spoke with more than 200 attendees during this conference. Overall, African American Initiatives Live EMPOWERED reached more than 1 million people in 2011. Native American, At a rate of nearly 17 percent, American Indians and Alaska Natives have the highest age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes among all U.S. racial and ethnic groups, where diabetes is four to eight times more common than in the general population. Awakening the Spirit encourages Native Americans to combat diabetes by making healthy food choices and becoming more physically active. Nationally and locally, Native American communities connect through Awakening the Spirit to encourage Congress to continue funding diabetes education programs in tribal communities. For example, the program was instrumental in advocating for the reauthorization of the Special Diabetes Program for Indians SDPI.The Association partnered with the National Council of Asian Pacific Islander Physicians, which organized a symposium, Diabetes in Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders A Call to Action. As a result, a coalition has been launched to focus on the impact of diabetes in these disparately impacted communities
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... Youth and Diabetes Family LinkrChildren affected by diabetes and their families have unique needs. When children are initially diagnosed, it can be a difficult and confusing time for parents and other family members. The Association connects with families affected by diabetes via various Family Link program components, including- Family Link Parent Mentors- Everyday Wisdom Kit- Social and Educational Events in Local Communities- Family Link Web Community- Planet D Web Community- Family Link E-news- Safe at School- American Diabetes Association Diabetes Camp- Classroom LessonsFamily Link Parent MentorsAs a part of our Family Link activities, nearly 50 offices around the country offer parents who serve as mentors, connecting families and services that last from six months through one year after a child is initially diagnosed with diabetes. Launched in 2011, a new online recruitment and training system for Parent to Parent Mentors will enable the Association to expand its community outreach efforts and provide information and emotional support to more newly diagnosed families.Everyday WisdomThe Everyday Wisdom Kit is a tool designed to help families of children with type 1 diabetes live with diabetes everyday, helping families plan for everyday moments and events such as birthday parties, playing sports and getting behind the wheel. The Kit comes in a reusable lunch bag and includes guides for the child with diabetes, parents and siblings, as well as a number of fun, interactive tools to keep the whole family engaged.The Everyday Wisdom kit continued to be in high demand with more than 10,300 kits distributed in 2011. This represents an 6 percent increase in kit delivery over 2010, due to the number of doctors offices, children hospitals and schools distributing order forms to families of type 1 children and many giving kits directly to families after diagnosis.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... American Diabetes Association Diabetes CampAnd each summer, thousands of children have the opportunity to spend a week or two at diabetes camp, meeting other children with diabetes, sharing their experiences, challenges, hopes and dreams at one of the 53 weeks of camp the Association offered in 40 locations in 25 states or at one of the camps offered by other organizations that met the Association high standards of care. Camps offered by the American Diabetes Association serve up to 6,500 children and teens. The Association awarded almost 450,000 in camperships last year for children to attend either an American Diabetes Association Diabetes Camp or a diabetes camp that meets our strict standards where the Association does not offer a camp program. The average camp fee was subsidized at 50 of the true cost of Diabetes Camp for all families. Grants to the Association supported 388,000 of these camperships.Also in 2011, a Stop Diabetes message campaign specific to families with children who have type 1 diabetes Stop Ignorance, Stop Discrimination, Stop Complications, Stop Diabetes was continued in 2011. Families joined the movement at national conferences as well as at Camps and Family Link activities. Indy 500 driver Charlie Kimball and NASCAR Camping Truck driver Miguel Paludo joined campers in placing their messages on stopdiabetes.com.Initiatives to recruit family teams for Step Out Walk to Stop Diabetes through Camp and Family Link resulted in 9,300 family teams who raised 5.3 million.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... InformationSetting the StandardKnowledge is critically important in the fight against diabetes. As the leading voice in the diabetes community, the American Diabetes Association is committed to providing all people affected by diabetes, the health care professionals who work on their behalf, as well as the general public with credible, up-to-date diabetes-related information, tools and resources. We focus our efforts on1. Raising the awareness of diabetes as a serious disease.2. Addressing the epidemic of diabetes through prevention, information and education initiatives.For more than twenty years, our evidence based clinical practice recommendations have served as the basis for diabetes health care and education, used by heath care professionals, insurance companies and quality assurance organizations. We design and provide quality education for health care professionals to ensure that people living with diabetes receive the best care. Our accredited programs incorporate the latest in science and the best treatment options available. This not only helps here at home, but also in developed and emerging countries where diabetes care is often lacking. The Education Recognition Program serves more than 10,000 diabetes educators at roughly 3,500 recognized sites, giving them the tools and resources to support their efforts in providing quality self-management education to more than 500,000 patients and their family members each year. The American Diabetes Association has collaborated with the International Diabetes Federation for more than 25 years, providing people in every corner of the world who are living with diabetes access to programs and resources they need to be healthy.Health Care ProfessionalsIn January, the Association issued Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes--2011, the worlds leading guidelines for the management of diabetes. The new guidelines include updated diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes, based on evidence that many more pregnancies would benefit from medical management of glucose levels during pregnancy. The Standards of Medical Care also includes updates of all areas of diabetes management including blood pressure control, treatment of kidney disease, and management of diabetes in children.Most people with diabetes receive their diabetes care from primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health professionals. In 2011, the Association created a new Primary Care Advisory Group aimed at increasing the Associations reach to these providers. The Association has increased its offering of both patient and professional education opportunities for primary care practitioners, and in 2011 began plans for a new professional membership opportunity focused on materials for primary care. New education opportunities in 2011 include free online continuing education courses and other professional education materials on the Associations DiabetesPro website, and new and updated patient education materials in print and online for professionals to distribute to patients.
Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... Professional EducationThe primary goal of the American Diabetes Association professional education program is to affect the quality of treatment and improve patient outcomes for people with diabetes by providing quality education for those health care professionals who provide their care. The Association conducts professional education activities directed toward enhancing knowledge, competence, advancing skills, and apprising health care professionals of the latest developments in diabetes research and clinical practice.In 2011, the American Diabetes Association reached more than 25,000 health care professionals with its live, print, electronic and performance improvement education activities. Activities include, but are not limited to, the annual Scientific Sessions and Postgraduate Course, regional meetings, research symposia, workshops, enduring materials, and performance improvement programs. Optimal care for people with diabetes requires a team approach to treatment and management and the activities are developed to target all members of the diabetes management team.The American Diabetes Association has been accredited to provide continuing education for health care professionals for more than 25 years and is accredited by several medical accrediting boards. It is the Association policy to ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all of its educational activities and to ensure that all programs are in full compliance with each of the accrediting board guidelines.Education Recognition ProgramDesigned to ensure and promote quality education for people with diabetes, the American Diabetes Associations Education Recognition Program ERP began in 1986 with 35 recognized diabetes education programs. The Association ERP, in collaboration with University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, introduced Chronicle Diabetes, an electronic record for documenting diabetes care and education to its approximately 3,500 program sites in 2011. Since the tool was launched in June 2011, about 10 percent of active sites have signed on to use it, with approximately 2,000 educators documenting in the system and 17,367 patient education records created in the system. This provides the American Diabetes Association a new opportunity to analyze, aggregate and publish data regarding trends in diabetes education.A Wealth of KnowledgeWhether its diet and nutrition advice for someone recently diagnosed, or information on diabetes management at school for the parent of a child, the American Diabetes Association offers guidance and answers. From a toll-free, bi-lingual national call center to an award-winning magazine that tackles the latest news and offers stories of hope, as well as a comprehensive website, we are leading the way in diabetes information.

Form 990 Part III 4 Continued... PublicationsThe American Diabetes Association is the leading authority in creating and publishing the world most respected consumer magazine, books, and professional journals about diabetes. The Association Publications group converted nearly its entire professional and consumer titles to eBook format in 2011, thereby making them more accessible to the public. This electronic format is especially important to international health care professionals who now can more quickly and easily reference the latest in diabetes standards of care.The Association consumer publications achieve a broad reach through both a monthly healthy living magazine and a full range of consumer books. The award-winning Diabetes Forecastr magazine provides the best information on diabetes research, treatment and practical tips for day to day coping. In 2011, each monthly issue of Diabetes Forecast had an audited circulation of more than 477,000 with a pass along readership of 4 million people.Several American Diabetes Association book titles received national or international recognition. The American Diabetes Association Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook was awarded the Gourmand Award for best health and nutrition title in the USA. The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook won the 2011 Nautilus Silver book award for cooking and healthy eating.Celebrating HealthIt takes a lot to overcome the obstacle of living with diabetes. It takes courage, determination and the boost that recognition can bring. Red Riders and Red Striders are exactly the type of people who exemplify those qualities and deserve attention. They are people living with diabetes who take part in our signature fundraising events. They embrace our mission, share our vision and are a driving force in the movement to Stop Diabetes. In 2011, our signature fundraising walk, Step Out Walk to Stop Diabetes held 132 walks nationwide and raised nearly 20 million for diabetes. Red Striders who participate in the walk are identified by a Red Strider hat to recognize their achievements and are celebrated for their determination and commitment every step of the way. TheTour de Cure is a family cycling event with bike routes designed for everyone to participate. Red Riders are recognized by a special jersey that is worn with pride. In 2011, there were 80 Tours across the country, with more than 50,000 participants, that raised more than 19 million to Stop Diabetes. Our Father of the Year events shine a spotlight on outstanding fathers each year. Chosen for their ability to balance family commitments, work in the community and achieve success in the business world, these individuals are truly deserving of their honor and recognition. This special, annual fundraising event helped to raise roughly 3 million in 2011.Together, we can Stop Diabetes in every wayThe immense toll of diabetes its frightening cost in security, dollars and lives - is no longer a national secret. More and more Americans have stepped forward to lend their voices, passion, money and time to stop this devastating disease. The tide is turning, and we know in our hearts that one day, diabetes will be powerless. Never again will it burden our families and friends, our schools and workplaces. There will be no more anguish, no more fear, no more discrimination-because there will be no more diabetes.Diabetes is a disease with deadly consequences - learn more at diabetes.org and stopdiabetes.com
Form 990 Part VI 11 IRS Review process by the Governing Body The American Diabetes Associations Board of Directors assigns the Audit Committee the oversight responsibility of the IRS Form 990 and its supplemental schedules prior to completion. After review by management and KPMG, the final and signed 990 was provided to the Associations Board of Directors prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990 Part VI 12c Managing a Conflict of Interest To identify potential conflicts of interest with appropriate due diligence, Officers, Directors, members of select Board appointed committees and their related subcommittees, journal/periodical editors, and senior staff of the Association and its subsidiaries must annually disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The American Diabetes Associations Audit Committee and senior staff in Legal Affairs manage the disclosure and monitoring processes. Through review of the annual disclosures and review of the agendas of relevant Board, Committee and other meetings, appropriate efforts are made in advance of the meetings to identify potential conflicts of interest. Each person also has the responsibility to report his/her own conflicts of interest actual or perceived as those conflicts may arise during a meeting. Based on the situation, senior volunteers and staff presiding over the discussion are responsible to ensure appropriate action is taken for the individual to publicly disclose the conflict, for the individual to recuse him or herself from the discussion, vote or room as appropriate and to ensure the disclosure and action is documented in the minutes of the meeting.
Form 990 Part VI 15a Compensation Process Annually, the American Diabetes Associations Principal Officers Chair of the Board President, Medicine Science President, Health Care Education and Secretary/Treasurer are responsible for establishing executive compensation consistent with the guidelines approved by the Compensation Committee. The Principal Officers of the Association use a Compensation Committee, compensation studies and an independent consultant to establish the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other key employees.

    Form 990 Part III Line 4 Together we Can Change the Future of DiabetesOur mission, to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes, can be seen in everything we do. Diabetes is a growing epidemic that is taking a physical, emotional and financial toll on our country. In 2007, the total annual economic cost of diabetes in medical expenditures and lost productivity was estimated to be 174 billion. Factoring in the additional costs of undiagnosed diabetes, prediabetes and gestational diabetes brings the total cost to 218 billion. Recent estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes by 2050 if present trends continue. In the United States, nearly 26 million people are living with diabetes and another 79 million have prediabetes and are at risk of developing the disease. For all of those individuals, their families and health care professionals, the American Diabetes Association works tirelessly every day to provide valuable programs and lifesaving resources, while moving us closer to a cure. A vision of life free of diabetes and all its burdens guides all of our work. Our Programs and activities touch the lives of people all over the world the promising researcher on the verge of finding a cure, the health care professional seeking the latest standards of care for patients, and the parent of a newly diagnosed child in need of support. Our commitment is unwavering and our impact is far-reaching.ResearchCommitment to a CureWe envision a world where research leads the way to putting an end to diabetes. Our funding creates a strong pipeline of innovative diabetes investigators who are dedicated to uncovering new ideas in diabetes research, translating discoveries into improved treatments and leading us toward an eventual cure for diabetes. Our commitment has contributed to hundreds of scientific accomplishments Form 990 Part III Line 4 Continued... Types of Research AwardsThe American Diabetes Association Research Program supports basic and clinical/translational diabetes research aimed at preventing, treating and curing the disease. The diabetes research projects we support cover the spectrum from islet cell biology and transplantation techniques, to education and behavioral issues. Our core program offers investigator-initiated funding for basic science and clinical/translational research awards. Believing in the drive and potential of young and promising researchers, we also offer training awards to support scientists interested in diabetes research at various stages through their careers -- from medical school through assistant professorship. In fact, 97 of researchers supported by the Association continue their careers in diabetes research. The Career Development and Junior Faculty awards, for example, provide young scientists the salary and research support necessary to establish a track record of success that will allow them to receive increased funding opportunities from the National Institutes of Health NIH. Our mentor-based training awards match clinical students and recent doctoral candidates with outstanding senior scientists to help them strive towards careers in research. The Associations Research Program provides general grant support to both new and established investigators, specialized grants assisting clinical and innovative researchers, and opportunities for investigators as they advance their careers and the field of diabetes research and care.Headlines from projects supported by the American Diabetes Association Research Program in 2011 included- Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Increase Risk of Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, January 2011- Sperm Stem Cells Hold Promise for Type 1 Diabetes Treatment, February 2011 - Software Accurately Predicts Form 990 Part III Line 4 Continued ... AdvocacyFighting For Your Future on the Front linesThe American Diabetes Association is an active advocate for everyone affected by diabetes. From Capitol Hill to statehouses around the country, we work tirelessly to promote laws and policies that meet the needs of people who have, or are at risk for, diabetes. We are leading the charge at both the federal and state levels calling for increased funding for vital research and prevention programs and improving access to affordable, quality health care.And our advocacy work does not end there. The Association has trained advocates around the country who represent those with diabetes who need a raised voice to protect their rights at school, work and elsewhere in their lives. A growing volunteer network of more than 700 attorneys, 300 healthcare professionals and 100 advanced school advocates help thousands facing discrimination because of their diabetes. Our efforts have resulted in regulatory change in nearly 25 states that protect our constituent rights. The Association is there in school meetings, in court, at the statehouse fighting for someone with diabetes who has been placed at risk.In 2011, the Association advocacy work resulted in a significant number of victoriesThe Association celebrated its first full year of the Advocates in Action initiative, which continues to build capacity in local communities across the nation to engage people affected by diabetes in advocacy efforts. Both new and seasoned Diabetes Advocates were encouraged to get involved via a calendar of advocacy activities including efforts to keep kids safe at school, recess meetings with Members of Congress, submitting letters to editors and speaking to local community groups.In March 2011, more than 200 Diabetes Advocates descended on Capitol Hill for the Association biannual Call to Congress Stop Diabetes. In Form 990 Part III Line 4 Continued... Public Awareness and SupportImpacting Our CommunitiesIn 2011, approximately 1.9 million Americans aged 20 years or older heard the words you have diabetes. While nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes 8.3 percent of the U.S. population, unfortunately, 7 million of those are unaware they have this life threatening, chronic disease. Yet, early diagnosis is critical to successful treatment and delaying or preventing some of its complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, amputation and death. As diabetes has reached epidemic proportions, the Association is leading the call to all Americans to ensure that the general public has a full understanding that diabetes is not merely a condition, but a disease with deadly consequences. To increase the public awareness of diabetes, the American Diabetes Association reaches out to people affected by diabetes and their families and caregivers, at risk populations, health care professionals and the general public via targeted public awareness efforts and educational programs.The American Diabetes Association takes every opportunity to integrate critical public awareness messages into virtually every program and fundraising activity we do. Each of the 39.5 million pieces of direct mail that the Association sent out in 2011 contained an important, health oriented call to action, including take the diabetes risk test, see a health care professional or learn more about preventing diabetes and its complications. All of the Association special event activities and community based outreach events incorporate those same messages and calls to action.Stop DiabetesrStop Diabetes is the movement to end the devastating toll that diabetes takes on the lives of millions ofindividuals and families across the United States.
