The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of Arizona is donating $5 million to help fund diabetes research.

The money will be given to the city of Phoenix, which will funnel it to the International Genomics Consortium's Translational Genomics Research Institute, or TGen.

Pima people suffer one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world.
