Rankings Updates | 2014
The BRIMR rankings are derived each year from data compiled and released by the National Institutes of Health shortly after the federal fiscal year closes. The NIH posts this data on its Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool (RePORT) website in the form of a master Excel spreadsheet file called “Worldwide”, accessible under the “Awards by Location” tab.
When one grant at a medical school is transferred from one department to another, the following files are updated: the initial department and its PI counterpart; the new department and its PI counterpart; Table 1 and Tables 3-7.

Science is the crown jewel of civilization.
Gentlemen, we’ve run out of money. It’s time to start thinking.
Thinking is highly overrated.
