With the advent of awards that include multiple PIs from different departments it is impossible to attribute costs to any specific department within a medical school. Accordingly, the NIH no longer publishes Departmental Ranking Tables for medical schools. However, a web-based tool is available that allows grantee institutions to determine the dollars awarded to any one organization or department, and download aggregate data on a fiscal year basis for analysis (see http://report.nih.gov/award/trends/FindOrg.cfm). Additional award information is provided through the Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool (RePORT) at http://report.nih.gov/index.aspx.
