For reasons that are unclear, the Mayo
Clinic is not designated as a School of Medicine and its awards are not
attributed to specific departments. However, BRIMR has included the Mayo
Clinic in the Medical School rankings from data included in the All
Organizations file. This file was also used to
calculate the rankings for all Institutions, Cities, Principal Investigators, and other Health Sciences Schools. Please report any discrepancies
between the Blue Ridge Institute files and
the NIH files to Webmaster@brimr.org. The
Award Data correspond to the US Government fiscal year. Awards and
R&D contracts for 2010
correspond to those granted from 1 October 2009-30 September 2010.
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 ($129 million in NIH funding in 2012), Brigham and Women's ($332 million), Boston Children's ($122 million), Dana-Farber ($124 million), and Massachusetts General Hospital ($345 million). Including these awards would increase the rank of Harvard Medical School. In contrast, some medical schools are credited with grants to non-traditional medical school departments including biology, chemistry, psychology, and physics. There are additional considerations. The NIH combines diagnostic and therapeutic radiology (Radiation-Diagnostic/Oncology) into a single category, whereas these entities may represent separate departments. BRIMR catalogues these under Radiology. Moreover, a combined department (e.g., Department of Physiology and Pharmacology) will appear in only one category and skew the rankings for that department. The NIH files specify a single Principal Investigator (PI) so that a grant to multiple PI's and co-PIs cannot be credited to multiple departments. Click here to go to an NIH site for additional information. The ≈ $11 billion awarded to medical schools accounts for nearly half of the $23 billion awarded in extramural NIH funding. However, data for recent R & D contracts, which historically account for about 10% of NIH extramural funding, does not attribute awards to specific departments nor to specific Medical Schools. These awards are not included in our reports from 2012-2012. Of the ≈ $2 billion in R and D contracts, less than $200 million has been awarded to Schools of Medicine. |
