Financial consultant Seija Goldstein reports that the number of papers participating this year in AAN's annual financial benchmarking study declined slightly from the previous year's total of 69. Since 1999, the number of AAN members participating in the survey has held relatively steady, from a high of 73 papers in 2002 to this year's low of 66. Survey results will be mailed to participants two weeks prior to the AAN Convention in San Diego.
