CSB 18th in NIH Grants Rankings!(as compiled by the Blue Ridge Institute)
CSB was unfortunately placed in the category of Pathology. It has been determined by the Dean of the School of Medicine that CSB would be 18th if listed correctly. This is a wonderful achievement.At a time when extramural funding is so difficult to secure, your dedication and hard work have kept us in the top 20 Cell Biology and Anatomy departments for 4 consecutive years.This achievement is a result of work done by those faculty, postdoctoral fellows and students submitting grants, the faculty that teach extensively in the anatomical sciences so that the researchers can devote more of their time to research, and the staff that work with us to get the grants submitted.
