University of Washington, of 119 · 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 Microbiology & Immunology row of the Seattle Children's Hospital page, including 2 R&D contracts, which department rankings leave out. Department rankings count Seattle Children's Hospital's awards toward University of Washington. It is part of Seattle Children's's Microbiology & Immunology.
