The following organizations received the most funding from the National Institutes of Health in the 2013 fiscal year.
Data below are organized by "system or main campus," which can include several entities or campuses. For example, the University of California includes several UC campuses, including those at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Francisco and others. The Partners Healthcare System entry includes Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and three other healthcare facilities, for example.
These grants include those for research projects, research centers, research and development contracts, training (either individual or institutional), construction and other programs.
Note: Although this list is arranged by the amount of funding each organization received, the NIH says "these data should not be interpreted as a ranking of institutions by NIH." There are several ways in which funding data can be aggregated across universities' schools and departments "that can alter the ordering of institutions," according to the NIH. Data do not include projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
