- Select a department to see the principal investigators on its awards. A rank opens that department's ranking with hospitals and health systems listed separately.
- Department figures follow the department-ranking rules: awards with an NIH or assigned department, not R&D contracts. They cover $1,113,085,804 of the $1,122,865,038 total; awards without a department count only in the total.
- NIH gives hospital awards no department code. Each one counts under its contact PI's own department, from their PubMed affiliations. When no affiliation names a department, the department comes from the award's topic. Cancer centers, research institutes and other organizations that are not typed as hospitals have no department.
