  • 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 Pediatrics row of the Seattle Children's Hospital page. Department rankings count Seattle Children's Hospital's awards toward University of Washington. It is part of Seattle Children's's Pediatrics.
