Within our orbit
The School of Medicine brings people together—and we’ve got the graph to prove it. See that blue orb? Each dark blue dot within it represents a Pitt Med researcher on a proposal submitted in fiscal year 2023. The gray lines show connections to collaborators both within and outside of Pitt. Of the 1,548 Pitt Med researchers depicted, 1,297 (83.8%) are working as part of a team of principal investigators.
Outside of the health sciences, the most internal collaborations take place with engineers at the Swanson School—see how some of those projects materialize here.
Looking beyond Pitt, 634 subawards from Pitt Med went out to 295 external institutions (shown in light green), including universities, hospitals, research centers, foundations and companies. Carnegie Mellon University tops the list of these partners.
Pitt Med’s gravitational pull, the data make clear, is drawing a rich solar system of partners.
