Internal Medicine at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Memphis, TN
- 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 Internal Medicine row of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital page.
