The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is the world’s largest organization of scientists and physicians devoted to understanding the brain and nervous system. SfN has more than 36,000 members in more than 95 countries and publishes two highly regarded scientific journals, JNeurosci: The Journal of Neuroscience, and eNeuro.

SfN requires enterprise-wide intelligence for both strategic guidance and to fully implement current policies. In order to plan for its next phase of development, SfN wanted to gain a deeper understanding of its current constituents by answering questions such as:

  • How is membership trending in relation to industry sector?
  • Are there opportunities to expand membership beyond the traditional academic sphere?
  • Which organizations contribute most significantly to membership?
  • How can we accurately gauge total engagement with the society on both an organizational and individual level?
