Return Reference Explanation
Part I Line 2 The American Diabetes Association Research Foundation closely monitors the use of 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. 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 awards until the obligations for the award are complete.
Part II Core awards fall into three primary program types general research awards, career development awards, and training awards. Research awards are designed to support different types of research projects, career development awards are designed to assist young investigators and junior faculty advance in their careers as they establish independence from their mentors, and training awards offer support for post-doctoral fellows as they gain research training experience. Targeted awards are offered periodically as we secure sponsor support, and are usually designed to request research proposals in specific topics. These are usually one time offerings that are not offered again. Overall, the core awards will consider any research topic, but targeted awards are focused on specific fields of research. Pathway awards fall into three main categories Initiator, Accelerator, and Visionary. Our Pathway grants support innovative basic, clinical, translational, epidemiological, behavioral, or health services research relevant to any diabetes type, diabetes-related disease state, or diabetes complication. The Association seeks exceptional candidates from a broad range of disciplines, including medicine, biology, chemistry, computing, physics, mathematics and engineering. All Pathway awards are available by institutional nomination only.
Part III Line 1,2 The American Diabetes Association Research Foundation program provides support to undergraduate minority students and young scientists through Junior Faculty Stipend Awards and Minority Undergraduate Internships. The Foundations Junior Faculty Stipend award is designed to support new faculty level investigators. The award supports and individuals salary and research project through an annual loan repayment. The Minority Undergraduate Internship award funds the training of an underrepresented minority undergraduate student as she/he gains valuable experience in diabetes research through a one year internship.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part I, Line 1 The American Diabetes Association Research Foundation, Inc. the Foundation secures major gifts and grants to fund diabetes-related research.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued 75 Years of Progress in the Fight Against Diabetes
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Did you know that in the United States, diagnosed diabetes has increased by 350 percent in the last 30 years Thats 1.4 million Americans diagnosed every year. Diabetes literally touches everyone. It is dangerous, invasive and unrelenting. Its a chronic disease that spans all ages and walks of life, but targets children, the elderly and minority populations more than others. It costs the United States billions of dollars each year in lost productivity. It is a global epidemic.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Today nearly 30 million adults and children in the U.S. have diabetes - nearly 10 percent of the population. To make matters worse, 8.1 million of those 30 million dont even know that they have the disease. And yet another troubling trend is emerging. Type 2 diabetes, whose risk factors include a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight, is seen increasingly in children. In fact, between 2002 and 2009, there was a 35 percent increase in type 2 among adolescents. Research suggests that type 2 diabetes behaves differently in children than in adults - progressing more rapidly and aggressively.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued The American Diabetes Association is the only organization dedicated specifically to the research, education and advocacy required to improve the lives of all Americans with diabetes. For 75 years, we have been working on the frontlines to educate at-risk populations, protect the rights of people with diabetes at work, school and other aspects of daily life, pioneer clinical and research breakthroughs and foster a pipeline of the best and brightest scientists. From research labs to the halls of the Capitol to the offices of health care practitioners to communities nationwide, we are there. 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 Continued Diabetes Research
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Accelerating Progress toward the Next Big Discovery
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Diabetes is an extremely complex disease, caused by a combination of various genetic and environmental factors that progressively lead to an inability to produce or effectively utilize insulin. The complexity of causes conspiring to diminish the bodys production or response to insulin, leading to high blood glucose and eventual development of diabetes, makes finding a single cure particularly difficult. While a cure has been elusive, critical research efforts in recent decades have led to significantly improved patient care, resulting in fewer complications and better health outcomes for individuals with diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued As a leader in diabetes research, and the only organization dedicated specifically to the research, education and advocacy required to improve the lives of all people with diabetes, the American Diabetes Association funds critical, innovative diabetes research and invests in promising scientists early in their careers. Our 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.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued 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 735 million in diabetes research. In 2015, the Association made more than 31 million available to support 354 new and continuing research projects at 144 leading research institutions. The supported projects cover the broad spectrum of research approaches including basic, clinical and translational science and address all types of diabetes, diabetes-related disease states and complications.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued The primary goals of the Associations Research Program are
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Support the highest quality science across the broad spectrum of diabetes research.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Support investigators early in their careers to encourage them to dedicate their efforts to diabetes research.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Support innovative research with a high potential to have a significant impact for patients with diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Peer Review Process
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued 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 Continued Types of Research Awards
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued 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 percent of American Diabetes Association-funded research falls under the Core Research Awards. In 2015, the Association moved to a single annual grant application cycle for its Core Research Program, featuring a streamlined grant portfolio. A total of 729 research grant applications were submitted. From those applications, 35 post-doctoral fellowships and 50 research and development grants were selected for funding.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Research Program Outcomes
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued According to a 2015 retrospective Outcomes Research survey, 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
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued 99 percent remain in diabetes research
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Average more than five publications per award
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued 92 percent receive subsequent funding to continue their research efforts
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Subsequent funding amounted to a total of 260.2 million, which is 7.36 for every 1 invested by the American Diabetes Association
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Pathway to Stop Diabetes
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Launched in 2013, the American Diabetes Associations Pathway to Stop Diabetes initiative aims to inspire a new generation of diabetes researchers who are early in their career or are established but would like to expand their focus on diabetes research. Through awards of 1.625 million over the course of five to seven years, the program allows researchers to have the time and focus needed to explore new ideas. 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 is significantly expanding our research efforts.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued Six new Pathway scientists began their research projects in January 2015. During the 2015 calendar year these new awardees, along with the initial five Pathway scientists, collectively published nine high-impact publications, gave more than 40 presentations at scientific meetings, presented 32 invited lectures and filed one patent application. Two Pathway Scientists earned faculty promotions. This level of accomplishment from just 11 individuals is exceptional. The second annual Pathway to Stop Diabetes Symposium was held at the American Diabetes Associations 75th Scientific Sessions in Boston, bringing together the Mentor Advisory Group, program sponsors and Association leadership to meet the Pathway scientists and hear firsthand about their exciting projects and discoveries. The third annual Pathway to Stop Diabetes grant competition also took place in 2015. The Mentor Advisory Group reviewed 103 outstanding nominations and selected six new Pathway Awardees who began their grants in January 2016. These new awardees bring the Pathway scientist cohort up to 17 outstanding investigators.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued 2015 Research Highlights
Form 990, Part III, Line 4 Continued American Diabetes Association-supported researchers made significant progress in understanding how diabetes develops and progresses, and in identifying new ways to combat the disease. Notable advances include the development of a smart insulin patch that uses nanotechnology to successfully regulate blood glucose levels in laboratory mice studies uncovering new links between cognitive health and prediabetes and a better understanding of how diabetes during pregnancy affects the offsprings health. Boehringer Ingelheim provided support for a targeted research initiative addressing unmet research needs in the area of treating diabetes in the setting of chronic kidney disease and renal insufficiency. This initiative resulted in 81 submissions, and three grants were awarded in April 2015 that will build the evidence base informing clinical practice for people with diabetes complicated by kidney disease.
