For FY 2022, Pitt finished 3rd in total NIH funding awards, Pitt's highest finish ever. (Pitt was 5th in total number of awards, probably at least matching its high water mark).

NIH funding is, by far, the largest source of government sponsor academic research funding. Note all of these awards are competitive and peer reviewed.

1. Johns Hopkins $839.9 million
2. UCSF $823.8 million
3. PITT $675.4 million (does not include $15m to Magee-Womens Research Institute)
4. Duke $672.5 million
5. Penn $668.4 million
6. Stanford $651.7
7. Michigan $644.3
8. Leidos Biomed Research, Inc. $625.1
9. Washington Univ (St. Louis) $620.6
10. Columbia $616.8
11. UCSD $595.2
12. UCLA $594.3
13. Yale $591.9
14. Washington $591.6
15. North Carolina $588.4
16. Massachusetts General $560.0
17. Emory $559.6
18. Mount Sinai School of Med $456.6
19. Minnesota $432.9
20. Hutchinson Cancer Center $429.2
21. Northwestern $394.1

24. Vanderbilt $376.1
25. Wisconsin $365.2
 
Your wasting your time CrazyPaco. Many folks on this site, and frankly locals and those in the local media, care more about NIL money than NIH money. Academics and research are secondary to sports! The average bloke cares way more about the Super Bowl than the incredible scientific breakthroughs that are happening at the University of Pittsburgh.

But I do greatly appreciate and applaud your efforts.

I had to look up UCSF, I've never even heard of it (probably proving PITTfanSD's point). It and Hopkins receive significantly more funding than everyone else, Pitt at #3 is back with the rest of the pack.

UCSF is graduate and professional only health sciences university of the UC system. No undergrads. No other fields of study. It is the largest medical research center on the West Coast. It is extraordinarily well known and regarded in any health science circle and it has many major, big time benefactors and several Nobel Prize winners in its faculty. It is always ranked near the top of anything medical.

It is unbelievably impressive to be #3 on this list. That's 3rd out of 2,861 institutions and other entities that received NIH funding in FY22. Again, all peer reviewed and competitively awarded funding...roughly only 30% of grant applications are funded, give or take depending on mechanism type. No reputation surveys or gaming this ranking.

Pitt's rise through the years:
1992: 10th
1997: 12th
2002: 8th
2007: 6th
2012: 6th
2017: 5th
2022: 3rd

This rise pretty much started with my acceptance to Pitt Med. You are welcome.
