The following is a summary of the amount the top 30 National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded institutions, ranked according to the total number of awards each institution received from the NIH in 2004. Institute of Medicine staff searched the Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects (CRISP) database for key-terms relevant to sleep. These terms include insomnia, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythm, sudden infant death syndrome, sleep disorder, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, sleep, hibernation, and dream. Abstracts were reviewed and only those grants with these terms listed in both the thesaurus terms and abstract, not the abstract alone, were considered in the counts. The committee then examined each institute’s grant portfolio to determine the number of sleep-related awards it received.

Summary of Investment in

Top 30 NIH-Funded Institutions
The following is a summary of the amount the top 30 National Insti-
tutes of Health (NIH)-funded institutions, ranked according to the total
number of awards each institution received from the NIH in 2004. Institute
of Medicine staff searched the Computer Retrieval of Information on Scien-
tific Projects (CRISP) database for key-terms relevant to sleep. These terms
include insomnia, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome,
circadian rhythm, sudden infant death syndrome, sleep disorder, narcolepsy,
sleep apnea, sleep, hibernation, and dream. Abstracts were reviewed and
only those grants with these terms listed in both the thesaurus terms and
abstract, not the abstract alone, were considered in the counts. The com-
mittee then examined each institute’s grant portfolio to determine the

NOTES: To isolate only qualifying sleep-specific grants in the Total Number of Sleep Grants
column, grants were obtained by searching the NIH CRISP database for key terms relevant to
sleep. These terms include insomnia, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome,
circadian rhythm, sudden infant death syndrome, sleep disorder, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, sleep,
hibernation, and dream. Abstracts were reviewed, and only those grants with these terms listed
in the thesaurus were considered in the counts. The number for each institution reflects indi-
vidual, unduplicated counts for a given year.
aThe totals for P Awards are for “parent grants” and do not include subprojects.
bColumbia and Cornell Universities both received zero sleep awards in 2004.
