It is difficult, if not
impossible, to summarize accurately department, medical school, and
university allocations in brief tables. Bona fide medical school faculty
may have their grants credited to hospitals thereby leading to an
underestimate of medical school funding. Harvard Medical School,
for example, has 17 teaching hospitals. These include Beth Israel
Deaconess ($111 million in NIH funding in 2008), Brigham and Women's
($253 million), Boston Children's ($95 million), Dana-Farber ($140
million), and Massachusetts General Hospital ($300 million). Including
these awards would increase the rank of Harvard Medical School. Also
note that NIH does not include departmental affiliations in their
hospital award data.
The information contained in the
Award files for 2006-2008 was obtained from the Research Portfolio
Online Reporting Tool (RePORT) from the National Institutes of Health at
http://report.nih.gov/award/trends/BrowseOrgs.cfm?NameBegins=A&InstFilter=MS.
The total awarded to each Medical School is the sum of (a) the SCHOOLS
OF MEDICINE and (b) the OVERALL MEDICAL component listed in the NIH
tables.

In this table
the awards of all
components of an institution are totaled, e.g., the awards to
Harvard Arts and Sciences, Harvard
Medical School, and Harvard School of Public Health are added to yield
the final entry.
