SELECT max(award), pi, org 
FROM iis 
LIMIT 20; 

This only gives me and I want the top 20 records:

If the awards are not already totaled, then you want to find the sum of the awards for each PI, you need to use SUM, and GROUP BY pi, to sum the awards for each PI

SELECT SUM(award) AS totalAwards, pi, org 
FROM iis 
GROUP BY pi, org
ORDER BY SUM(award) DESC
LIMIT 20;

SELECT award, pi, org 
FROM iis
ORDER BY award DESC
LIMIT 20;
