TNMU Among the Leaders of Ukraine’s National Researcher Ranking System

The preliminary results of the ranking of Ukraine’s National Researcher Ranking System based on research performance in 2023–2025 have been published.

Faculty members of Ivan Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University have demonstrated significant research achievements. According to the preliminary data of Ukraine’s National Researcher Ranking System, 56 TNMU faculty members and young researchers are candidates for a state scholarship.

A total of 13,025 researchers are represented in the ranking, including 1,923 researchers from higher education institutions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. TNMU is represented by 243 researchers, including 29 young scientists and one war veteran.

The share of candidates for a state scholarship among TNMU researchers is 23.0%, compared with 14.7% among higher education institutions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine overall. Thus, this figure at TNMU is 1.57 times higher than the average among higher education institutions under the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

At the same time, TNMU researchers account for 19.8% of all candidates for a state scholarship among higher education institutions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine: 56 out of 283. In other words, almost one in five candidates from higher education institutions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine represents TNMU.

The University demonstrates particularly strong results in Research Area No. 06, “Biology, Biotechnology, Medicine and Rehabilitation.” This area covers research in biological sciences, biotechnology, fundamental and clinical medicine, public health, pharmacy, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and related biomedical disciplines.

Research Area No. 06 includes 195 TNMU researchers, including 49 candidates for a state scholarship and 23 young scientists. The share of scholarship candidates among the University’s researchers in this area is 25.1% – effectively one in four researchers.

Research Area No. 06 accounts for 87.5% of all TNMU candidates for a state scholarship – 49 out of 56. This demonstrates the University’s strong research potential in biology, biotechnology, medicine, and rehabilitation.

Although the ranking results are preliminary, they demonstrate TNMU’s strong position in Ukraine’s research landscape and the high representation of the University’s researchers among candidates for state scholarships.
