Return Reference Explanation
II-B The American Diabetes Associations advocacy efforts and achievements are at the core of creating effective and lasting change for people living with, and at risk for, diabetes. The Associations advocacy efforts give people with diabetes, their families, and health care professionals the power to influence public policy issues that affect people with diabetes at the local, state, and national levels. From Capitol Hill to state houses to court houses across the country, the Associations Diabetes Advocates continue to drive momentum in the ongoing fight to Stop Diabetes. The primary goals of the American Diabetes Associations Government Affairs and Advocacy effort are To increase federal and state funding for diabetes prevention, treatment and research - Prevent diabetes through advocacy of increased funding and raising awareness on national, state and local levels - Improve the availability of accessible, adequate and affordable health care - End the discrimination people with diabetes face at school, work and elsewhere in their lives.
II-B The Association has trained advocates around the country who represent those with diabetes who need a raised voice to protect their rights.The voices of Diabetes Advocates from around the country were heard in many ways including 125 meetings with Members of Congress and their staff during Capitol Hill Advocacy Day, 29 state advocacy days, summits, briefings and caucus meetings, and a constant drumbeat of phone calls, letters, and emails to Congress and state legislators. Annual federal funding for diabetes research and programs increased by more than 150 million, including a 76 million - or 125 - increase in funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions Division of Diabetes Translation a 55 million increase to the National Institutes of Healths National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases 10 million for the National Diabetes Prevention Program and a new public-private Accelerating Medicines Partnership, which added 58.4 million for diabetes research over the next five years. In addition, the Special Diabetes Programs were reauthorized, providing 150 million for research on type 1 diabetes and another 150 million for programs in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities. 2014 progress spread across the country with 44 state legislative and regulatory victories in the areas of health insurance, fighting discrimination, primary prevention, diabetes programs and surveillance, and state coordination on diabetes. Our Safe at School campaign added Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and North Dakota to the list of states with laws or policies meeting all of the main tenets of the campaign. In all, 27 states now meet these tenets, providing access to diabetes care and allowing for appropriate self-management. In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the Association continued its effort to fight for fairness for people with diabetes at school, on the job, in places of public accommodation, and in government programs and services.
II-B The American Diabetes Association strategically builds outside support for its advocacy effort, and continued focus on underserved and disproportionately affected communities. In collaboration with the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Diabetes Coalition, we released a new position statement lowering the recommended Body Mass Index for screening Asian Americans for diabetes. We added the American Indian/Alaska Native Diabetes Action Council to our Diabetes Disparities Action Council, which focuses our advocacy efforts in the communities hit hardest by diabetes. And we passed the first bill to establish a Commission on Health Disparities in the District of Columbia. Raising our voice helped to raise awareness, reduce inequalities, improve care and drive discovery. All of which has been instrumental in changing lives.

Part IV
Supplemental Information. Provide the information required in Part I, line 2, Part III, column (b), and any other additional information.
Return Reference Explanation
Part I Line 2 The American Diabetes Association provides grant funding for research grants to the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation. The American Diabetes Association closely monitors the use of all grant funds. 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.
Part I Line 2 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 staff for award status and compliance.
Part I Line 2 The American Diabetes Association continues to be the worlds largest provider of camps for children with diabetes to help ensure the well-being of families affected by diabetes. The Association provides grants, scholarships and targeted youth programs for persons with diabetes. Each summer, thousands of children have the opportunity to spend time at diabetes camp, meeting other children with diabetes and sharing their experiences, challenges, hopes, and dreams. In 2014, the American Diabetes Association hosted 50 camp sessions in 24 states serving nearly 5,400 campers with type I type 2 diabetes. In addition, more than 2,300 volunteers made camp possible by donating their time and expertise. Camp provides an outdoor recreational experience in which 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, as well as other volunteers and staff. Program evaluation and outcome measurement provide valuable data to the Association regarding camp programs and how to improve them. 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. The American Diabetes Association also provides grants to support Advocacy programs. In 2014, the Association again awarded grant funds to The National Council of Asian Pacific Islander Physicians NCAPIP. The grant contribution was made in recognition of the coalitions outstanding work to address the disparate impact of diabetes on vulnerable populations. The Association monitors the use of the funds by maintaining an on-going communication and periodic financial reports.
Part I Line 2 The American Diabetes Association is committed to preventing diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program DPP was a major multicenter clinical research study, funded in part by the American Diabetes Association, aimed at discovering whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin Glucophage could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in study participants. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Taking metformin also reduced risk, although less dramatically. The DPPs results indicate that millions of people at high-risk for developing type 2 diabetes can delay or avoid developing type 2 diabetes by losing weight through regular physical activity and a diet low in fat and calories. Weight loss and physical activity lower the risk of diabetes by improving the bodys ability to use insulin and process glucose. The DPP contributed to a better understanding of how diabetes develops in people at risk and how they can prevent or delay the development of diabetes by making behavioral changes leading to weight loss. These findings are reflected in recommendations from the American Diabetes Association for the prevention or delay of type 2 diabetes, which stress the importance of lifestyle changes, and weight loss. Building on the success of the DPP, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC led National Diabetes Prevention Program is an evidence-based lifestyle change program for preventing type 2 diabetes. The year-long program helps participants make real lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, incorporating physical activity into their daily lives and improving problem-solving and coping skills. The American Diabetes Association is collaborating with the Florida Department of Health to provide support, technical assistance and mini-grants to Florida-based Diabetes Prevention Lifestyle Change DPLC accredited programs, or pending accreditation, by the CDC. Funded wholly by a grant from the Florida Department of Health, the goals of this initiative are 1 to increase the number of DPLC program participants with a blood-based prediabetes diagnosis 2 to increase the number of DPLC program participants achieving 5-7 weight loss and 3 to increase the number of health care practices that have a policy to refer patients with or at risk for prediabetes to DPLC programs.
Part III Line 1 and 2 Each year, the American Diabetes Association recognizes the outstanding contributions of individuals in the service of the diabetes community through its National Achievement Awards. These awards are presented to recognize and honor individuals in the diabetes scientific and medical community who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and who have made significant contributions through their outstanding career achievements. Daniel J. Drucker, MD received 20,000 for being the key investigator in the discovery of insulin. Joel K. Elmquist, DVM, PhD received 10,000 for an outstanding scientific achievement in diabetes research, taking into consideration independence of thought, originality, significance of discovery, and impact on his/her area of research. Edward S. Horton, MD received 5,000 for an outstanding achievement in mentorship and/or creation of a robust environment for diabetes research.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Changing Lives All of Us Can Help Stop Diabetes
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 As the national and global diabetes epidemic continues, all of us are affected. Did you know that nearly 30 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes while another 86 million have been diagnosed with prediabetes The economic cost of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. is at a staggering 245 billion per year, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes in 2050 if present trends continue. For three quarters of a century, the American Diabetes Association has been changing lives and leading the call to put an end to this dreadful disease and its deadly consequences. We are at the forefront of the national and global diabetes community, working tirelessly to fund the worlds brightest and most promising diabetes researchers, while providing targeted programs and lifesaving resources for those living with diabetes, their families and health care professionals, as well as high-risk populations and the general public. We envision a life free of diabetes and all its burdens, which is fueled by our mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Research
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Spotlight Changing Lives through Research
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The vast majority of diabetes cases - both type 1 and type 2 - are polygenic diseases, meaning that more than one gene contributes to risk of and progression to diabetes. However, some very rare forms of diabetes are caused by single gene mutations and are called monogenic diabetes. Monogenic diabetes appears in newborns up to about six to nine months of age. As neonatal monogenic diabetes is rare, these individuals are often misdiagnosed as having type 1 diabetes and are treated with insulin. However, because the single gene mutations that cause the disease dont necessarily result in total insulin deficiencies like type 1 diabetes, oral diabetes medications like sulfonylureas can sometimes be used to better manage monogenic diabetes. The correct diagnosis of monogenic diabetes is critical and can make a significant impact in the lives of the patients. However, the study of rare diseases can be especially difficult, in part because of the challenge in identifying sufficient numbers of patients to study. With funding from the American Diabetes Association, Dr. Louis Philipson created the first registry for individuals with monogenic diabetes. Using web-based technologies, the University of Chicago Monogenic Diabetes Registry allows for the successful recruitment of a relatively large number of patients with monogenic diabetes who are providing great insight into our understanding of these sub-types of diabetes, and how best to treat them. Data can be efficiently collected and maintained in a secure and confidential manner. Now DNA from people diagnosed with diabetes in the first several months of life can be tested for known mutations. If a defined mutation is confirmed, these patients may be able to transition from insulin therapy to sulfonylurea, an oral medication, to effectively manage their diabetes. The more we learn about links between genetics and diabetes through biomedical research, the better able we are to develop and deploy the correct treatment regimen to treat individuals based on their specific genetic make-up. Because of the work of individuals like Dr. Philipson, we now know that individuals who have been diagnosed with diabetes as infants are more likely to have monogenic diabetes, and that they should be tested at a center that specializes in monogenic diabetes. The documentary Journey to a Miracle Freedom From Insulin, which was released in January 2015, tells the story of several parents who discovered their children had monogenic diabetes, a rare form of diabetes caused by genetic mutations. The diagnosis allowed the kids to swap insulin for oral medications, radically changing their lives. The film also tells the story of the science, highlighting the researchers and doctors who played an integral role in breakthrough studies on and treatment of monogenic diabetes. It documents the beginning of what many hope is a greater awareness of the rare disease.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The American Diabetes Associations direct involvement in diabetes research extends back to the 1940s when Dr. Charles H. Best, one of four scientists credited with discovering insulin, provided the Association with the framework and early leadership for a formalized diabetes research program. Since our Research Programs inception in 1952, we have been the leader in funding cutting-edge diabetes research, supporting nearly 4,500 research projects and investing more than 700 million in diabetes research. In 2014, the Association made nearly 30 million available to support 376 new and continuing research projects performed by 364 investigators at 143 leading research institutions.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The primary goals of the Associations Research Program are -Support the highest quality science across the broad spectrum of diabetes research. --Support investigators early in their careers to encourage them to dedicate their efforts to diabetes research. -Support innovative research with a high potential to have a significant impact for patients with diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Peer Review Process One of the factors that sets American Diabetes Association-funded research apart and ensures that we are supporting the very best science is peer review. Peer review is a process whereby grant applications are reviewed and evaluated by individuals who are experts in the field or peers of the individual submitting the grant. Association grant applications all undergo peer review by three or more volunteer experts who are themselves diabetes researchers. Reviewers provide both a score and detailed comments regarding the strengths and weaknesses of each grant they review. Scores from all reviewers for each grant are averaged to arrive at a composite merit score that is then used to determine which grants to support.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Types of Research Awards Research awards are divided into four major categories that reflect our research goals and priorities, provide extraordinary opportunities for researchers from diverse backgrounds, and foster the professional development of young scientists interested in diabetes research. The categories are Investigator-Initiated Awards Core Program Pathway to Stop Diabetes Collaborative Targeted Research and Research Co-Support. Approximately 80 of Association-funded research falls under the Core Research Awards. In 2014, the Research Policy Committee undertook a critical and comprehensive strategic review of the core research program grant offerings and restructured the portfolio to improve efficiencies and better align with organizational objectives. The new programmatic offerings were launched for the 2015 Core Research Program annual call for applications.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Research Program Outcomes American Diabetes Association-funded researchers show an exemplary commitment to advancing their careers within the field of diabetes research. Within five years of their award -98 remain in diabetes research - Average 6 publications per award -85 of career development awardees receive promotions -85 receive subsequent federal funding to support their work, resulting in a 7.5 fold increase in funding from other sources
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Pathway to Stop Diabetes We understand the importance of shaping the track and making it accessible to new top talent. In 2013, to accelerate the research needed to discover solutions and ultimately cure diabetes, the American Diabetes Association launched a bold initiative, Pathway to Stop Diabetes, to inspire a new generation of diabetes researchers. With a goal of funding 100 new diabetes researchers over the next decade, Pathway provides crucial support to individuals focusing on innovative ideas and transformational approaches that will lead to new discoveries in diabetes prevention and treatment. Importantly, Pathway is in addition to ongoing Association research activities, and will significantly expand our research efforts. Pathway supports creative scientists who are early in their career, or who are established but would like to expand their focus on diabetes research - regardless of their current field of study. Through awards of 1.625 million over the course of five to seven years, the program will allow researchers to have the time and focus needed to explore new ideas. The first class of five Pathway Scientists began their awards in January 2014. Collectively the awardees published three high-impact publications, gave 10 presentations at scientific meetings, presented 24 invited lectures and filed one patent application, all resulting from Pathway funding in the first year. In addition, the inaugural Pathway to Stop Diabetes Symposium debuted at the 74th Scientific Sessions in San Francisco, bringing together the Mentor Advisory Group, program sponsors and Association leadership to witness firsthand the exciting projects and impressive progress of the first class of Pathway Scientists. The Association also held the second annual Pathway to Stop Diabetes grant competition. The Mentor Advisory Group reviewed 116 outstanding nominations and selected six new Pathway Awardees who were announced and started their grants in January 2015.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 2014 Research Highlights The Association sponsored a new collaborative targeted funding opportunity Chronic Kidney Disease in the Setting of Diabetes with Boehringer Ingelheim, supporting research in this high-need area defined by an Association consensus conference. Association-supported researchers made significant progress in understanding how diabetes develops and progresses, and in identifying new ways to potentially combat the disease. Notable advances include studies uncovering surprising connections between the gut microbiome and metabolism, development and testing of new devices that integrate glycemic control with hypoglycemia prevention for artificial pancreas technologies, and studies uncovering the conditions and mechanisms from the maternal environment that confer risk for diabetes and obesity to the offspring.

Everyday Wisdom kits are designed to help families of children with type 1 diabetes live with diabetes every day.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Spotlight Changing Lives through Camp Camp Aspire was a Game Changer for Asante Before attending camp she felt like she was the only child that had diabetes, she felt that she was cursed or that she had done something wrong or was bad and that she was the only black child. She told me that she felt alone and that no one understood. She never wanted anyone to know that she had diabetes. She was very embarrassed and ashamed. After attending Camp Aspire she is now a much happier child. She will tell people she has diabetes, she is more compliant about checking, she even tells her best friend to make sure that she checks her A1C.She is not shy about others knowing, not that she is shouting from the mountain tops that she has diabetes, but she is more accepting and is living life. She is smiling more and is a happier child. For the first time since her diagnosis, Asante is willing to recognize and be actively involved in learning more about diabetes and helping to find a cure. She was scared to death to go camp, and when I came to pick her up, I could not get her to leave She made lots of friends and cannot wait until next year. She is already talking about how she wants to become a counselor when she gets older. I will sum it up this way Camp ASPIRE not only changed Asante, it changed our family. It gave us our happy, confident child back -Porchia S. Stewart,Rochester, NY
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 American Diabetes Association Diabetes Camp The American Diabetes Association continues to be the worlds largest provider of camps for children with diabetes. Each summer, thousands of children have the opportunity to spend time at Diabetes Camp, meeting other children with diabetes and sharing their experiences, challenges, hopes and dreams. - In 2014, the Association hosted 50 Camp sessions in 24 states serving more than 5,400 campers. - 22 of newly diagnosed Campers those diagnosed one year ago or less improved their overall ability to manage diabetes-related problems after attending an Association Camp. - 18 of Campers who have been living with diabetes for seven years or more increased their confidence in their ability to manage their diabetes. - Through grants from Lilly Diabetes and The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, the Association was able to award more than 513,000 in camperships financial aid to help families pay for camp. - More than 3,000 volunteers and staff worked at Camp in 2014. About 40 of those are health care professionals.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Living With Type 2 Diabetes Living With Type 2 Diabetes LWT2D enrolled a total of 82,485 new participants, bringing the total number of registrants to more than 470,595.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4 In 2014, in partnership with the BMJ Group, we launched an online-only, open-access journal titled BMJ Open-Diabetes Research and Care. Guillermo Umpierrez, MD, FACP, FACE, is the editor-in-chief of the journal. The new journal provides an option for American Diabetes Association authors who are mandated to submit their papers to an immediate open-access publication. The 2013 impact factors for Diabetes and Diabetes Care were released in July 2014. Diabetes Care 8.6 and Diabetes 8.5 rank 5th and 6th, respectively, of 122 publications in the field of endocrinology/metabolism and 2nd and 3rd among journals publishing original research in that field. Impact factor is a measure of a journals prestige, and is calculated by determining the frequency with which the average article in a journal is cited by other publications. Diabetes Care and Diabetes are the highest-ranked journals devoted exclusively to diabetes-related research. In addition to publishing the Associations Clinical Practice Recommendations, we published numerous position and other professional papers, including - Consensus Reports Beta-Cell Failure in Type 2 Diabetes Postulated Mechanisms and Prospects for Prevention and Treatment - Diabetic Kidney Disease A Report From an ADA Consensus Conference Scientific Statement Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Disease A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association - Position Statements Type 1 Diabetes Through the Life Span A Position Statement of the American Diabetes Association - Care of Young Children With Diabetes in the Child Care Setting A Position Statement of the American Diabetes Association
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Awareness Advocacy The American Diabetes Association is leading a multi-faceted call to action via targeted public awareness efforts and education programs.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 26th Annual American Diabetes Association Alert Day The Associations Alert Day is one of our most impactful awareness efforts. Also known as a one-day wake-up call, the 26th American Diabetes Association Alert Day took place on March 25, 2014. We once again challenged Americans to Take it. Share it. by taking the Diabetes Risk Test and asking them to share it. The public could take the test by visiting facebook.com/AmericanDiabetesAssociation, stopdiabetes.com or by calling 1-800-DIABETES. Alert Day generated nearly 800 million media impressions between its local and national media outreach, social media efforts, Association promotional channels, collaborative efforts and unique opportunities, nearly doubling impressions generated in 2013. Nearly 100,000 online diabetes risk tests were taken during the month-long campaign.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 American Diabetes Month Another key awareness campaign is American Diabetes Month ADM, celebrated each November. During American Diabetes Month ADM in November, the Association launched its America Gets Cooking to Stop Diabetes campaign, which inspired people to live a healthier lifestyle by cooking nutritious and delicious food and leading a more active lifestyle. Through various high-impact promotional activities, the Association gained additional supporters for its Stop Diabetes movement while helping people nationwide understand the urgency of the Associations mission. Each day during the campaign, visitors to www.diabetesforecast.org/ADM received tips, recipes and more in English and Spanish. The site also included a weekly poll where people were asked to vote for their favorite foods that they would like to see as part of their holiday meal. The winning recipes were announced through a meal reveal multi-media press release which included a cooking video featuring award-winning cookbook author and culinary instructor, Robyn Webb, MS. Total outreach was tallied at more than 962 million impressions, which included national and local media coverage, social media efforts, celebrity outreach, Association promotional channels and collaborative efforts.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 EXPO In 2014, more than 66,000 people attended American Diabetes Association EXPO in 12 markets around the country to learn how to be healthy, active and live well with diabetes. Of those, 27,254 people participated in health screenings offered by local health care organizations. In addition, 2,970 volunteers worked together to support EXPO.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Reaching High-Risk Populations The Association is working to help the many populations that are disproportionately affected by diabetes. African Americans are 1.7 times more likely to develop diabetes compared to non-Latino whites, and in some Native American communities, one in two adults has diabetes. To help curb this inequity, the American Diabetes Association has targeted community-based programs in place, working closely with civic, social, faith-based and health care representatives within these communities. We also frequently partner with other community and health organizations and host the Disparities Partnership Forum.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The African American Initiative Live EMPOWERED reached more than 4.5 million people in 2014. In November, local markets participated in the I Decide to Stop Diabetes Day Church Campaign reaching African Americans across the country during American Diabetes Month that reached more than 3.5 million people. The Association continued its successful collaboration with the Prince Hall Shriners resulting in a significant donation to the Research Foundation and the African American Initiative. This contribution will give the Association an opportunity to expand its reach in African American communities across the country to help African Americans better understand the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes. To date, the Prince Hall Shriners have donated nearly 14 million to the Association. In August 2014, the African American Initiative exhibited at the Imperial Session of the Prince Hall Shriners in Tampa, Florida, which had more than 15,000 attendees.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The Latino Programs Por Tu Familia - PTF reached 695,573 Hispanic/Latinos in 2014.

The program will be adapted for delivery in various populations including high-risk populations experiencing health disparities.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Signature Campaigns Our special events are yet another opportunity for the American Diabetes Association to raise awareness about diabetes and are an integral part of our strategic vision to eradicate the disease. In 2014, all of the Associations events, including our signature events, Step Out Walk to Stop Diabetes and Tour de Cure, incorporated our educational message and brought awareness of the seriousness of diabetes. We conducted 108 walks nationwide with more than 110,000 participants, and featured 90 cycling events across the country with more than 61,000 participants.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Spotlight Changing Lives through Connections Hi My name is Sophie Steven. Im 10 1/2 years old and have type 1 diabetes. Ive had diabetes for more than eight years and Id like to share why I ride in the Tour de Cure Colorado as a Red Rider, Youth Ambassador and Champion to Stop Diabetes. I ride as a Youth Ambassador because I love riding my bike and raising money to both help send kids to Camp Colorado a week-long camp for kids with diabetes and to help find a cure for diabetes by funding research efforts. Being a Youth Ambassador has helped me feel more connected to my diabetes community. I get to spend time with other people, both kids and adults, who understand what its like to live with diabetes. I am also a Red Rider with the Tour de Cure Colorado. A Red Rider is a person who rides their bike in Tour de Cure and has diabetes While riding in Tour, all Red Riders get a very special red jersey to identify themselves. Many people, including other Red Riders, shout Go Red Riders to encourage the people riding with diabetes to keep going, both on their ride and with their daily fight with the disease. Its pretty awesome I ride in the Tour de Cure Colorado because its really a nice feeling to know that Im not alone in dealing with this disease every day. Riding as both a Youth Ambassador and Red Rider in the Tour de Cure Colorado has been an amazing experience. Sharing my story, advocating for a cure, and hanging out with people, like me, who have diabetes is the reason why I support the American Diabetes Association and the Tour de Cure Colorado. - Sophie Steven, T1D - diagnosed 3/11/07, Youth Ambassador, Red Rider, 5th Grader
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Prevention Accelerating the Pace In 2014, we continued to accelerate our diabetes prevention efforts. More than 15,000 people visited My Health Advisor, our online calculator for type 2 diabetes, heart attack, stroke and diabetes complications, while 8,200 users printed a personal action plan outlining steps for lifestyle changes. We also updated our online Cardiometabolic Risk Toolkit which received nearly 30,000 pageviews in the second half of 2014. In addition, we kicked off a collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC and the American Medical Association on a type 2 diabetes prevention-themed awareness campaign in conjunction with the Ad Council. The campaign is expected to launch in the January 2016.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The Guideline Advantage, an outpatient quality improvement program and a Preventive Health Partnership collaboration, supports consistent use of evidence-based guidelines for prevention and disease management. Through 2014, the program included data from nearly 550 health care providers and more than 5.5 million patient encounters.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 More than 240 companies connected with us through Stop Diabetes Work, the Associations healthy worksite initiative, and 100 companies provided co-branded employee web portals. More than 72,000 employees were exposed to American Diabetes Association online resources through web portals or links. We also continued our collaboration with YMCA of the USA and others to promote the YMCAs Diabetes Prevention Program among Medicare enrollees. The pilot program had more than 3,800 participants in 17 markets.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Three of our CheckUp America public service announcements PSA were ranked within the top 20 of all public service announcements tracked by Nielsen ratings. The PSAs earned more than 500 million audience impressions in 2014 with an equivalent dollar value of nearly 5 million.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Advocacy Spotlight Changing Lives through Laws Cameron Nicholas had always dreamed of becoming a firefighter, but having type 1 diabetes almost stopped it from happening. Becoming a firefighter required passing a physical exam. Although Cameron had passed many physicals and endurance tests in his life, when he took the physical that was required for firefighting, he didnt pass. One challenge was that the doctor involved did not understand the laws that protect people who have diabetes, nor the basic medical standards that could judge his readiness for firefighting. Cameron was extremely upset about this, so he and his mother contacted the American Diabetes Association. They learned about his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and educated the doctor. Cameron was then able to pass a physical and became a firefighter with the Prichard, Alabama Fire Department. He loves his job and in 2014, also became a certified EMT Emergency Management Technician, finishing second in his class. Never let diabetes stop you from achieving your goals and dreams, says Cameron.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The American Diabetes Associations advocacy efforts and achievements are at the core of creating effective and lasting change for people living with, and at risk for, diabetes. Raising our voices from Capitol Hill to state houses to court houses across the country, our dedicated Diabetes Advocates continue to drive momentum in our ongoing fight to Stop Diabetes. Our advocacy work gives people with diabetes, their families and health care professionals the power to influence public policy issues that affect people with diabetes at the local, state and national levels. Our primary goals are to increase federal and state funding for diabetes prevention, treatment and research prevent diabetes improve the availability of accessible, adequate and affordable health care and end the discrimination people with diabetes face at school, work and elsewhere in their lives. We have trained advocates around the country to represent those with diabetes who need a raised voice to protect their rights. An ever-growing volunteer network of attorneys, health care professionals and advanced school advocates help thousands facing discrimination because of their diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 In 2014, we succeeded in our efforts to increase federal funding for diabetes research and programs as Congress - Added 51 million dollars in Fiscal Year FY 2014 and another 5.4 million in FY2015 to funding for diabetes research at the National Institute of Healths National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases NIDDK for total annual funding of 1.749 billion. - Increased funding at the Centers for Disease Controls Division of Diabetes Translation by 76 million, a 125 increase in funding for total annual funding of 137.1 million. - Provided 20 million over the course of FY2014 and FY2015 for the National Diabetes Prevention Program. - Reauthorized the Special Diabetes Program providing 300 million, half for research on type 1 diabetes and half for programs in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. - Included language in the FY2014 funding bill supporting the Veterans Administrations Million Veterans program, which seeks to better understand diabetes in the veteran population, and adding diabetes as a category for funding from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program at the Department of Defense.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The Accelerating Medicines Partnership, a new initiative by the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, ten biopharmaceutical companies and several nonprofit organizations, including the American Diabetes Association, added 58.4 million for diabetes research over five years.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Through legislative victories in Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee, and statewide policy action in North Dakota five more states meet the key tenets of our Safe at School campaign by providing access to insulin and glucagon and appropriate diabetes self-management. Additionally, four other states strengthened their school laws and policies. Twenty-seven states now meet the main tenets of our Safe at School campaign, an increase of 12 states in the last three years. A landmark joint statement from the American Diabetes Association, the American Nurses Association, its California affiliate, and the California School Nurses Organization states it is a safe and effective practice for unlicensed school personnel to be trained to administer insulin and other diabetes medications when such care is permitted by a physicians order. Four Advanced School Advocacy Trainings added 46 new school advocates to the ranks of those providing workshops and support for families across the country. We also published the first position statement on the rights of young children with diabetes in childcare programs and launched a new Spanish language Safe at School website, Segura en la Escuela.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Capitol Hill Advocacy Day included more than 50 dedicated Diabetes Advocates from across the country whose Members of Congress sit on the powerful Appropriations Committees. Advocates held 125 meetings explaining the need for additional funding for diabetes research and programs. We also raised our public policy voice through testimony for five Congressional hearings, increased in-district meetings with Members of Congress, leadership on Congressional sign-on letters, 29 state advocacy days, summits, briefings and caucus meetings, tens of thousands of emails and phone calls to elected officials, and collaborations, including establishing Friends of NIDDK, a coalition composed of 28 organizations working together to increase federal funding for NIDDK.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Health care professionals participated in sessions on Advocacy at the Associations Scientific Sessions, Postgraduate Course, and Clinical Conference on topics ranging from health reform to helping patients facing discrimination. We continued a series of articles in Clinical Diabetes with pieces on keeping patients with diabetes employed and safe at work and addressing the socioecological determinants of prediabetes and diabetes. A total of 350 health care professionals were added to the Associations Health Care Professionals Legal Advocacy Network for a total of 1,150 doctors, nurses, dieticians, diabetes educators and others working to end discrimination based on diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 We created a new Diabetes Disparities Action Council to help address the unique needs of American Indian/Alaskan Native populations and to build an advocacy base within urban and tribal communities. We also engaged media to reach high-risk communities through key blogs and interviews, an online policy chat hosted by the Diabetes Hand Foundation, and webinars and town halls hosted by the Administration and partners such as Telemundo. Led by our Scientific Medical Division, a collaboration with the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Diabetes Coalition resulted in a new position statement lowering the recommended Body Mass Index for screening Asian Americans for diabetes. Other coalition work included co-hosting a scientific/policy conference, publishing a call to action article in a primary care journal, and providing training to local advocates. In addition, we passed the first bill to establish a Commission on Health Disparities in the District of Columbia.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Advocates in Action webinars trained grasstops advocates on topics including building local advocacy capacity and advocacy for events, outreach to communities hit hardest by diabetes, fundraising and advocacy, hometown media engagement, and mobilizing advocates to meet with elected officials. Another series of Legal Advocacy webinars engaged college students with diabetes, school advocates, attorneys, and parents of children with diabetes in learning about our anti-discrimination efforts and resources. We increased the number of online Diabetes Advocates by 7 to a total of 287,541. Advocates in Action Step Out teams numbered 65 strong and raised more than 108,000, a 6 growth in donations and a 47 increase in the number of teams.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 The United States Preventive Services Task Force USPSTF released a new draft recommendation on screening for type 2 diabetes aligning with the Associations Standards of Medical Care. When finalized, it will be used by health care providers in making decisions about patient care and will enable most at-risk patients to get this vital testing free of charge. As individuals with undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes are identified, they can then begin proper disease management or take action to prevent diabetes. The USPSTF also finalized improved screening guidelines for diabetes in pregnant women.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 We continued our efforts to improve access to quality health insurance through numerous official comments, letters, legal briefs and meetings with Administration officials. Affordable Care Act ACA focus was on expanding coverage for low income Americans, consumer protections and implementation of state marketplaces. More than half of the states have now moved forward in expanding Medicaid eligibility, providing coverage for vulnerable people with diabetes, and five states improved Medicaid coverage for people with diabetes. Medicare focus in 2014 was on consumer protections, ensuring access to disease management tools and primary prevention.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Diabetes Action Plan Legislation, providing for state coordination on diabetes and development of an action plan, was enacted in six states, part of an impressive total of 44 state legislative and regulatory victories. We also successfully advocated for proven diabetes prevention programs through the National Diabetes Prevention Program, securing additional funding for the program and providing evidence of cost savings through coverage by Medicare. The Association and coalition partners obtained the broad coverage they sought in the final rules on menu labeling in chain restaurants and vending machines. Efforts to create a loophole in important school lunch standards were defeated. Primary prevention laws passed in six states to promote access to healthy environments for children and adults in the school, community, and workplace setting.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Through redesigned and improved Legal Advocacy sections on diabetes.org as well as broad outreach, we realized a 44 increase in pageviews over the last three years. Outreach efforts included Diabetes Docket, a quarterly electronic newsletter providing tools for people with diabetes and their advocates, and a series of infographics on discrimination topics garnering more than 700,000 impressions through social media channels.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 We filed friend of the court briefs in important cases involving issues of school segregation and placement, improper application of job standards and failure to hire. Working to improve the care of people with diabetes who encounter law enforcement officers, we began providing annual training for a group of 250 training sergeants at the New York City Police Academy, and submitted testimony to the U.S. Senate on the proper response of law enforcement to diabetes emergencies.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 We Can Do It Imagine the day when diabetes will no longer devastate our families and communities. When a terrified parent doesnt have to hear that their child has an incurable disease that brings with it not only sleepless nights, but constant fears about possible complications and diabetes-related discrimination. When nobody has to worry anymore about blood glucose highs and lows and whether that blurred vision is the beginning of a life without sight. We know that, together, we can stop this dreadful disease and realize our vision life free of diabetes and all of its burdens.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12 Managing Conflict of Interest To identify potential conflicts of interest with appropriate due diligence, Officers, Directors, and members of select Board appointed committees and their related subcommittees, journal/periodical editors, and senior staff of the Association 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 the 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, Section B, Line 15a Compensation Process Annually, the American Diabetes Association 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. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the individual performance evaluations of staff officers and key employees, and establishes the total compensation for key employees subject to the guidelines established by the Executive Compensation Committee.

Upon the executives hire, and at each point in time thereafter at which a new or revised compensation arrangement is under consideration with respect to the executive, the Committee meets before the arrangement is implemented to evaluate the reasonableness of the arrangement. The Committee compares both the arrangement itself and the executives entire compensation package to compensation packages paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions 5 documents, concurrently with its determination, the basis for its determination in the minutes of its meeting These minutes are reviewed, revised if necessary and approved at the following meeting of the Executive Compensation Committee. The process described above was used to establish compensation for the following positions Chief Executive Officer, Chief Field Development Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, Executive Vice President of Government Affairs Advocacy, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Senior Vice President of Marketing Communications. The total compensation of executives at the American Diabetes Association is specifically designed to attract and retain the highest qualified executive talent to fulfill the critically important mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
