Diabetes Research Connection – Supporting Scientists to Make Touchdowns in their Field

Diabetes Research Connection – Supporting Scientists to Make Touchdowns in their Field

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and for Hermoza, awareness is just a start.

With the Diabetes Research Connection, efforts and investments have a throughway, enabling researchers to continue their exploration and investigation into the causes, treatments, and prevention options for those living with Type 1 Diabetes.

For a variety of reasons, research funding for scientists has become exceedingly difficult to secure. Competition and highly selective processes make it even more challenging, causing many researchers to become discouraged about their efforts and the future of their projects.

Here’s where DRC comes in.

The Diabetes Research Connection secures funds from donors for early-career scientists, helping offset start up costs and encouraging sustainable support from other foundations. Where some organizations see risk, DRC sees potential in progressive thinking from scientists just at the start of their promising careers. By helping get their diabetes research projects off the ground, DRC’s support helps maintain vision and focus on research into innovative treatments and therapies that could minimize complications and improve the quality of life for those living with T1D.

Type 1 Diabetes is a life-threatening disease that is not caused by diet or lifestyle. It is a life-changing diagnosis that affects entire families, taking both physical and emotional tolls that perpetuate stress and anxiety around the inevitable and constant imbalance they endure. Blood sugar, carbohydrates, insulin highs and lows are all in constant flux and consideration while those living with T1D seek some semblance of routine despite sleepless nights, close calls, and unavoidable scares.

100% of research funds go directly to supporting efforts in labs as they seek relief for families affected by T1D. To date, DRC has helped successfully fund multiple research projects that investigate the causes of Type 1 Diabetes, that learn more about life-changing diagnoses, that improves approaches to finding a cure, and that offer innovative therapies to combat and limit the overwhelming complications instigated by the disease. With an annual goal of raising $1,000,000 for early-career scientists who are eager to develop legacies of study, DRC is a bold and optimistic nonprofit organization that assumes the initial risk many foundations aren’t willing to make.

Hermoza knows a thing or two about taking risks to make breakthroughs in an industry. While giving isn’t about fashion or trends, serving those in need is always classy. Our Hermozas are strong, driven, and compassionate, so we know their hearts will be the first to support DRC and our other partners in their fight for the treatment and prevention of T1D.
