Dear Friends, Is there an easy-to-use single source that reports the number of individual grants received by institution? U.S. News & World Report includes such a number for medical schools, and also includes the number of P.I.s associated with those grants. (You have to go to the Academics page for each school's listing. Start at http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/beyond/bchome.htm and look up schools by name.) But for engineering schools, for instance, it mentions the number of faculty involved in sponsored research but not the number of individual grants. And in any case, there's no way to scan (or import to a spreadsheet or database) a list, whether by discipline or by institution. There's a lot of great data in the National Science Foundation collection, but I haven't found this particular piece there. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
