Research funding is essential to changing the future of T1D. That's why we not only hold fundraisers like One Walk, but we are also making the case to Government for more research funding.
As we head into the 2025 Federal Election, we’re asking for $50 million for the next phase of the Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Research Network. You can learn more about our advocacy campaign and how you can get involved on our website.
