UCSF Again Among Leaders in NIH Research Grants All four UCSF schools ranked among the top four comparable institutions in the country in the 1999 fiscal year competition for federal research dollars from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The UCSF schools received a total of $227.5 million in research grants, training grants, contracts and fellowships during the 1999 federal fiscal year, $2.8 million more than during the 1998 fiscal year, according to the most recent data obtained from the agency. Peer review determines who receives NIH research money. At UCSF, numerous basic and clinical research projects aimed at understanding or treating a variety of diseases -- including cancer, heart disease and AIDS -- have been supported by NIH. The UCSF Schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy each ranked first in NIH support in 1999, the School of Nursing ranked second, and the School of Medicine ranked fourth. The School of Pharmacy has been the top-ranked pharmacy program in NIH-funding for 14 consecutive years. In 1999, the school received 41 awards totaling $13 million. UCSF ranked ahead of pharmacy programs at University of Utah ($9.4 million), University of Illinois at Chicago ($6.6 million), University of Arizona ($6 million), and University of Kansas ($5 million). The School of Dentistry remained the top-ranked dental institution in NIH-funding for the eighth straight year with $15.1 million from 39 NIH awards. The University of Washington ($10.7 million) placed second, and the University of Pennsylvania ($9.4 million), University of Michigan ($7.6 million) and University of North Carolina ($7.4 million) completed the top five. The School of Nursing received 24 awards totaling $7.4 million, just behind the University of Washington ($7.9 million). The University of Pennsylvania ($5.6 million) ranked third, followed by the University of North Carolina ($4.2 million), and the University of Michigan ($3.8 million). The School of Medicine received 616 awards totaling $218.2 million in 1999. UCSF ranked fourth, behind Johns Hopkins University which received $255.3 million, the University of Pennsylvania ($238.4 million) and Washington University in St. Louis ($225.6 million).
