Dear AJ
On behalf of the juvenile Diabetes research Foundation, we thank you once again for your generous and continuing support of JDRF. During the last fiscal year, your commitment and dedication helped JDRF to fund an unprecedented $115 million in cutting-edge research focused on finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes and its complications. What a remarkable achievement in support of a critical mission.
In recognition of your role in the tremendous accomplishments of the past fiscal year, we're very pleased to inform you the JDRF has named the JDRF-funded project currently awarded to Richard E. Gilbert, Ph.D., FRACP, in your honor. The named career development award was published as the JNN Foundation Research Career Development Award in the Winter 2002 Research Progress Report of JDRF's Countdown magazine. A lay abstract describing the named project, entitled "Glucose Independent Pathways in Pathogenesis of Vascular Disease in Diabetes: Interaction between Vasoactive Hormones and Cytokines" is appended.
JDRF's Research Career Development Awards provide critical support to promising junior faculty members who have dedicated their efforts to diabetes research. These prestigious awards serve as an incentive to attract talented researches to the field, and to provide these recipients with the training and mentoring opportunities that will enable them to become innovative contributors to the diabetes research community.
The above grant reflects the strength and breadth of the best research being conducted in the field - research made possible in huge part as a result of JDRF's unrelenting effort to move an international scientific endeavor toward our ultimate goal of a future free from diabetes and its devastating complications.
Again, heartfelt thanks for your continuing support through your concerts and appearances. The public awareness spot on your JNN Foundation Website look terrific. Thanks for helping us here, too.
Sincerely,
Karen Brownlee, National Director
