- Members: AHRQ, Compendium of U.S. Health Systems, 2023 (data year 2023, retrieved September 27, 2026), which lists 41 hospitals in this system; research institutes and system organizations were added from their own websites. Hospital names are AHRQ's, which AHRQ sometimes shortens. NIH organizations were matched to AHRQ hospitals by name, city and state, and every inexact match was checked by hand. Rank is each organization's place among 2,521 institutions in the FY2026 all-institution ranking. How health systems are counted
Departments by funding
No FY2026 award at these members has a department.
- Department figures follow the department-ranking rules: awards with an NIH or assigned department, not R&D contracts. They cover $0 of the $9,076,681 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.
