  • 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.
  • These are the awards in the Genetics row of the Harvard Medical School page.

Co-investigators

Named as principal investigators on these awards, which someone else leads. They may belong to another department or institution: their own, below, comes from the awards they lead.

Also counted toward Harvard Medical School in the Genetics ranking

Department rankings count awards at these organizations toward Harvard Medical School. With Harvard Medical School's own 24 awards (R&D contracts left out), they make up its ranking row: #8, $36,674,451, 58 awards. Each organization's page lists its investigators.
