The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) is a nonprofit organization that funds research to find a cure for diabetes. Established in 1971, the foundation works closely with the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The foundation’s mission is to support innovative, cure-focused research aimed at restoring natural insulin production and normalizing blood sugar levels for individuals with diabetes. DRIF provides vital financial resources to DRI scientists, helping them conduct groundbreaking clinical trials and research that move discoveries from the lab to patients.
