Online Panel

BioInformatics sponsors The Science Advisory Board (SAB), an online community of 37,588 scientists, physicians and healthcare professionals from around the world. The Science Advisory Board is divided into two panels (Research and Clinical) and "convenes" regularly via the World Wide Web (www.scienceboard.net) to voice expert opinions on a wide variety of issues relating to biomedical research and clinical technologies. These experts—representing all aspects of the life sciences and medicine—have agreed to make themselves available to participate in market research activities for both our published reports and custom research projects.

This incomparable market research tool is available to answer critical questions at any time. What's more, with a wealth of data continuously gathered about these panelists from their registration forms and their participation in past studies, we can effortlessly identify those members that will provide precisely the answers needed.

Using The Science Advisory Board to conduct studies has several unique advantages:

Growing Global Panel	Currently the online community consists of 37,588 life science and biomedical professionals from around the world who enthusiastically voice their opinions, state their supplier preferences and describe their unmet needs via online surveys and focus groups.
Fast & Accurate Results	This panel of experts provides answers to critical marketing questions in days, rather than weeks.
Exceptional Targeting Ability	Respondents can be selected based on registration information (i.e., market segments, areas of expertise, geographic locations, etc.) as well as on how they answered questions in previous studies such as the products they use and their preferred suppliers, etc.
Qualified Respondents	We maintain strict control over who we invite to the survey and have quality control procedures to make sure the response quota is filled with only qualified scientific customers.
Predictable Response Rates	The unique positioning of The Science Advisory Board and an attractive rewards program encourages membership and frequent participation. Because it is an “opt-in community,” high response rates are typical.
Follow-up Studies	Follow-up questions can be posed to specific individuals or additional surveys can be fielded to the same group of respondents so that clients can track changing perceptions, purchasing patterns, etc. over time.

In addition to The Science Advisory Board, BioInformatics maintains a proprietary database of over 100,000 additional biomedical researchers and thought leaders who we often contact to participate in special projects and activities. Or, if appropriate (i.e., customer satisfaction survey), we can compose questions to your own customer or target list.
