"Neuro-Knowledge™ is a research group that combines state-of-the-art Web-based data collection systems with the clinical expertise of AANS neurosurgeons. This combination makes Neuro-Knowledge™ a unique resource for analyzing clinical data, conducting surveys and performing clinical research. All AANS members should consider this program when planning or recommending any research study."

- Robert E. Harbaugh, MD

Neuro-Knowledge™ -- The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Outcome Sciences, Inc. (OSI), have joined together to form Neuro-Knowledge™, a Clinical Trials Group that combines the expertise, prestige and clinical resources of the world's largest neurosurgical specialty society with an industry leader in Internet based clinical, experiential and opinion research. Neuro-Knowledge™ combines web-based data collection infrastructure with the world's largest network of neurosurgeons to establish a unique resource for conducting clinical research. Neuro-Knowledge™ manages neurosurgical clinical trials and registries, evaluates neurosurgical practice and expense issues and gathers opinions from practicing neurosurgeons. The AANS is now developing Neuro-Knowledge™ panels, a network of neurosurgeons who want to participate in funded research activities.

The AANS invites you to join the AANS Neuro-Knowledge™ Network. Your participation can range from completing occasional surveys to serving as an expert consultant or speaker to being an investigator in a clinical trial. Each time an opportunity matches your interests you will receive a notification describing the project and how much compensation you will receive for your participation. You decide whether or not to participate.

Neuro-Knowledge™'s services are focused on three areas of data collection: clinical trials (including recruiting investigators and managing data), observational studies such as registries, and opinion research (including surveys, expert panels and speakers). Neuro-Knowledge™ will work with clinical investigators, device manufacturers, academic research centers and others interested in high quality clinical data collection relating to neurosurgical patients, procedures and opinions.

Also, as we continue to build the Neuro-Knowledge™ Network of physicians, the AANS is seeking member physicians who would be willing to assist us with contacting corporations to expand our client base. If you have any questions, or if you are an independent consultant working with a company, and would be willing to assist us in making contact with the appropriate personnel in that company, contact Robert Harbaugh, MD, at (717) 531-4383 or rharbaugh@psu.edu about Neuro-Knowledge™.
