Institution rankings

97 institutions and health systems ranked by Physiology 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
