<p>Its a bit of apples and oranges, e.g. some institutions include their teaching hospitals (JHU) while for others the hospitals are separate institutions (e.g., BWH and MGH are both Harvard affiliated hospitals).

<p>^^"And UW (salmon division) owns UW (cheese division)." Ha-ha-ha!</p>

3

<p>Besides BWH and MGH, there are several other Harvard teaching hospitals (Chlidren's, Dana Farber, etc.) who have grants. If all those numbers were combined, Harvard Medical would be #1.</p>

4

<p>While Washington leads in NIH funding, Wisconsin leads overall in total research funding so the funding is not so concentrated just in the Medical School.</p>

5

<p>Plus UW-Madison will not accept funding for secret research,e.g., stuff that can't be published.</p>

6

<p>^which is irrelevant for NIH-funded projects</p>

7

<p>It is now required that publications emerging from NIH-supported research be made available to the general public through pubmed. Long overdue.</p>

<p>You're right it is irrelevant but I just felt like saying it.</p>
