77 institutions and health systems ranked by Ophthalmology department funding in FY2026, with hospitals and health systems listed separately.
No hospital is grouped under a medical school here. Each award counts once: toward its health system when the hospital belongs to one ScienceDex lists (Mass General Brigham), otherwise toward the organization NIH funded. A medical school's row holds only awards made to the school itself. How grouping works
