Harvard Medical School, of 66 · 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 Genetics row of the Massachusetts General Hospital page. Department rankings count Massachusetts General Hospital's awards toward Harvard Medical School. It is part of Mass General Brigham's Genetics.
