- Which organizationsGotGrant groups these NIH recipient organization codes by hand. NIH does not publish system totals, so other sources may draw the boundary differently.
- Combined rankWhere the group's total would place among individual NIH recipients outside the group. NIH itself ranks each recipient separately.
- No double countingEach award has one prime recipient, so member totals add up without overlap. Subawards stay with the prime recipient, and subprojects of multi-project awards are excluded.
- What is countedTotal award amount (direct plus indirect) obligated in each fiscal year, excluding intramural research and interagency agreements.
