Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION PART III, LINE 1
JDRF'S MISSION IS TO FIND A CURE FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES AND ITS COMPLICATIONS THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF RESEARCH. JDRF IS THE LEADING GLOBAL ORGANIZATION FUNDING TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D) RESEARCH. JDRF'S GOAL IS TO PROGRESSIVELY REMOVE THE IMPACT OF T1D FROM PEOPLE'S LIVES UNTIL WE ACHIEVE OUR VISION OF A WORLD WITHOUT T1D. JDRF COLLABORATES WITH A WIDE SPECTRUM OF PARTNERS AND IS CURRENTLY SPONSORING $530 MILLION IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN 17 COUNTRIES. STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: PART III LINE 4A: JDRF'S MISSION IS TO FIND A CURE FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES AND ITS COMPLICATIONS THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF RESEARCH. JDRF IS A GLOBAL ORGANIZATION WITH A STRATEGIC RESEARCH PLAN TO END T1D. OUR PLAN ENSURES THAT THERE WILL BE AN ONGOING STREAM OF LIFE-CHANGING THERAPIES MOVING THROUGH THE RESEARCH PIPELINE FROM DEVELOPMENT TO THE MARKETPLACE THAT LESSEN THE IMPACT OF T1D UNTIL WE ELIMINATE THE DISEASE FROM PEOPLE'S LIVES COMPLETELY. JDRF IS DRIVING RESEARCH ACROSS THE ENTIRE SCIENTIFIC SPECTRUM, FROM DISCOVERY IN THE LABORATORY TO DELIVERY OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AND TREATMENTS TO PATIENTS. IT IS COLLABORATING WITH PUBLIC, PRIVATE, ACADEMIC, AND CORPORATE PARTNERS TO EXPEDITE DELIVERY OF REAL-WORLD SOLUTIONS TO PEOPLE WITH T1D AND THEIR FAMILIES. ADDITIONALLY, JDRF'S INFLUENCE AND LEADERSHIP EXTENDS BEYOND FUNDING RESEARCH. JDRF STRATEGICALLY PARTNERS WITH INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENTS, FOUNDATIONS, ACADEMIA, HEALTHCARE, AND CLINICIANS AS PART OF A GLOBAL EFFORT TO CURE T1D. LINE 4B: IN SUPPORTING ITS RESEARCH GOALS, JDRF ORGANIZES SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS, SYMPOSIA, AND CONFERENCES. IT CONVENES REVIEW BOARDS AND COUNCILS COMPOSED OF SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS, VOLUNTEERS, AND T1D PATIENT REPRESENTATIVES TO REVIEW RESEARCH PROPOSALS AND ENSURE JDRF'S RESEARCH STRATEGY IS ALIGNED WITH THE NEEDS OF THE T1D COMMUNITY AND JDRF PROVIDES SCIENTIFIC UPDATES ON THE RESEARCH IT IS MANAGING. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE CENTRAL TO JDRF'S ROLE IN LEADING AND UNIFYING GLOBAL EFFORTS TO CREATE A WORLD WITHOUT T1D. THIS WORK ALSO ENHANCES JDRF'S ABILITY AND OPPORTUNITY TO FORECAST FUTURE SCIENTIFIC DIRECTIONS, JUDGE THE POTENTIAL EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF NEW RESEARCH PATHWAYS, AND IDENTIFY GAPS WHERE JDRF CAN FOCUS ITS FUNDING TO MAKE THE MOST IMPACT. JDRF'S LEADERSHIP IN THESE AREAS ENABLES IT TO DRIVE A STRATEGIC PLAN TO BRING ABOUT A CONTINUOUS FLOW OF LIFE-CHANGING THERAPIES AND, ULTIMATELY, A CURE FOR T1D. LINE 4C: Because of its leading role in diabetes research globally, JDRF is in a unique position to provide public education about diabetes and its complications. JDRF's efforts impact not only the millions of people with the disease and their families, but also those at risk for developing the disease, and the general public. JDRF educates people about the warning signs of diabetes, which can be profoundly helpful in ensuring timely diagnoses and reducing the potential, short-term, catastrophic consequences of type 1 diabetes. JDRF also provides key information about current research directions and progress, and about human clinical trials in which people with the disease can participate (including via JDRF's Clinical Trials Connection service). JDRF chapters around the nation are committed to helping people identify and diagnose diabetes earlier and stay healthier so that they can benefit from a cure and treatments as they are developed. 990 REVIEW PROCESS FORM 990, SECTION B, PART VI, QUESTION 11B THE FIRST STEP IN THE FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS BEGINS AT THE FINANCE LEVEL WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX MANAGER WORKING WITH OUTSIDE TAX ADVISORS TO PREPARE THE RETURN AND ALL SUPPORTING SCHEDULES.

AFTER A DRAFT RETURN IS PREPARED, THE SECOND STEP IN THE REVIEW PROCESS INCLUDES A REVIEW OF THE DRAFT RETURN BY OUR TAX ADVISOR, ATTORNEY, AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER PRIOR TO AN AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEW. ANY QUESTIONS AND CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO THE DRAFT FORM 990 ARE ADDRESSED AND MADE. THE THIRD STEP IN THE REVIEW PROCESS IS FOR THE JDRF AUDIT COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE RETURN WITH OUR OUTSIDE TAX ADVISORS. ONCE THE RETURN IS APPROVED WITH ALL CHANGES AND READY TO FILE, IT IS PASSED ON TO THE BOARD. THE FOURTH AND FINAL STEP IN THE REVIEW PROCESS IS TO PROVIDE A FINAL COPY OF THE RETURN TO EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE JDRF BOARD OF DIRECTORS BEFORE E-FILING THE FORM 990 WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
