UCSF was the fourth largest recipient of National Institutes of Health research support in 2005, receiving a total of $452.2 million from all awards in the nationally competitive process, according to rankings released by NIH. The rankings cover research and training grants, fellowships, contracts and other awards. The UCSF School of Dentistry, School of Nursing and School of Pharmacy each ranked first nationally – all three schools maintaining their rankings from last year. The UCSF School of Medicine ranked third nationally, as it did last year.
"UCSF's research has once again been deemed among the best in the country by the most rigorous of judges -- our scientific peers throughout the nation," said UCSF Chancellor Mike Bishop, M.D. "The strength of NIH support for UCSF is a national-level endorsement of scientific research here in all four schools. That bodes well for progress on many fronts critical to advancing health care."
Dean Dracup wrote to staff and faculty, "This ranking is a reflection of the hard work and talent of many people in the school -- faculty, staff and students. Thank you for everything you do to contribute to our success as the #1 School of Nursing in the United States."
