What it will and will not tell you
- A missing award amount is reported as Not reported, never as $0.
- Institution rankings are competitive RPG-research only, so their totals are not comparable to all-mechanism NIH funding totals.
- The corpus is a dated snapshot, not a live mirror of RePORTER. Ask the server for its source status to see the cutoff.
