Breakthrough T1D’s Industry Discovery & Development Partnership (IDDP) program supports for-profit companies conducting research closely aligned with its type 1 diabetes (T1D) research strategy. It combines industry’s product-development capabilities with Breakthrough T1D’s research and patient-advocacy expertise to accelerate therapeutics and devices toward commercialization and foster long-term collaboration with the T1D community.
Supported work includes translational research, clinical trials, and device development with a clear pathway toward regulatory approval and commercialization. Priority areas include cardiovascular disease in T1D, the clinical impact of insulin dosing, ketones and continuous ketone monitoring, and continuous glucose monitoring–insulin pump integration. Projects should address unmet clinical needs and demonstrate commercial potential. Funding is intended to help companies reach a defined inflection point in discovery, development, or regulatory approval.
