  • Select a department to see the principal investigators on its awards. A rank opens that department's ranking.
  • 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 and is marked topic-inferred. How departments are assigned
  • Department rankings count Boston Children's Hospital's awards toward Harvard Medical School, so ranks labeled Harvard Medical School are that school's ranks. Each department ranking can also list hospitals and health systems separately.
