The cancer research landscape, ranked.
A free, public directory that ranks and benchmarks 109 cancer research centers by NIH funding, clinical-trial activity, and publication output — refreshed weekly from public sources.

Every figure traces back to a public authority of record — funding from NIH RePORTER, trials from ClinicalTrials.gov, and citation-weighted output from PubMed via iCite. Nothing is self-reported.

A ranking that shows its sources.
Comparing centers usually means stitching three public sources together by hand — and each counts things differently. Cancer Logix measures every center the same way, and names every source that goes in.
- Comparing centers means stitching NIH RePORTER, ClinicalTrials.gov, and PubMed together by hand
- Every source counts things differently, so nothing lines up
- Rankings elsewhere rarely name their sources
- Every center measured the same way, on normalized public data
- One composite Excellence Score you can sort and filter instantly
- Refreshed weekly, with every source named
- Inputs
NIH funding (NIH RePORTER), clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov), and citation-weighted output (PubMed/iCite).
- Normalization
Inputs are normalized so centers of different sizes compare fairly.
- Composite score
The normalized inputs combine into one Excellence Score per center.
- Rank
Centers are ordered by score, updating automatically as new public data arrives.
How the Excellence Score is built, from public inputs to a comparable rank.
One dataset. Every way of looking at it.
Every center is measured on normalized public data, so size doesn’t distort the comparison. Pick a metric and the whole board re-ranks — the same centers, seen through funding, trials, or publications.
Illustrative — the same centers, re-ranked by each public metric. Sources: NIH RePORTER · ClinicalTrials.gov · PubMed / iCite.
Illustrative — every center scored on the same normalized measures.
Compare centers on equal footing.
Pick any two centers and see them side by side on the same normalized measures — no more reconciling three public sources that each count things differently.
The same yardstick for everyone — that’s the whole point.
Built to explore and compare.
Centers ordered by the Excellence Score — a composite of NIH funding, clinical trials, and publication output.
Narrow the field by location, designation, and specialty.
Compare any two centers on consistent, normalized data.
Explore 13 research domains and see which centers lead each.
Open the NIH grants, active trials, and peer-reviewed publications behind every score.
