The Department of Surgery ranks 16th in the nation for NIH funding, with an allocation of $11.18 million, according to the Blue Ridge Report for 2023. The achievement exceeds a goal set by the department back in 2018, aiming to elevate its research standing into the top 20 within five years. The accomplishment marks a substantial leap from its previous position at #42, where it had less than $2 million in NIH funding — a testament to strategic planning and steadfast dedication of the department's research team.
