University of Pennsylvania, of 90 · Ranking
  • NIH names only the principal investigators on an award, so this page lists only them. The department is the award's: it is where ScienceDex counts the award, not a list of the department's members.
  • NIH gives hospital awards no department code. Each counts under its contact PI's own department, from their PubMed affiliations, or under a department inferred from the award's topic when no affiliation names one. Each award below says which. How departments are assigned
  • These are the awards in the Pathology row of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia page. Department rankings count Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's awards toward University of Pennsylvania. It is part of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Pathology.
