Re: Rumor about NIH Rankings Carlson, Claire 11 May 2006 14:18 EST
According to the latest NCURA newsletter (April/May 2006), NIH "intends to do away with its annual tables that rank institutions, schools and departments according to the dollar value of NIH awards received. Dr. Ruiz Bravo (Deputy Director for Extramural Research at NIH) assures the grant community that discontinuing the tables will be done 'in a measured way', and that NIH will still make the data available for local analysis."

The NIH rankings represent one of a series of benchmarks we use to measure department activity. Does anyone know if this suggestion is a consequence of the effort to recognize multiple PI's?

I surely hope that it isn't true. Has anyone else heard anything about this? Also, if they are thinking about it, let's get out the torches and pitchforks and see what we can do to influence them to continue to give us this valuable tracking data. -Jennifer Jennifer Morgan Shambrook, MHA Associate Chair for Research Administration Co-Director Division of Public Psychiatry Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science Medical University of South Carolina 67 President Street, Suite 504 Charleston, South Carolina 29425 voice: 843-792-0191 fax: 843-792-0048 email: xxxxxx@musc.edu ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ======================================================================
