An important aspect of any research endeavor is engaging various stakeholders to work toward the common goal of pushing knowledge forward about the question at hand. Research into pediatric anesthetic neurotoxicity could benefit greatly from interventions designed to improve the efforts and dedication of government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, research communities, and most importantly, patients. The Pediatric Anesthesia Neurodevelopment Assessment (PANDA) symposium is a biennial meeting where updates in research in the field are presented, and issues relevant to the community are discussed in round table discussions. Here, we summarize a discussion that took place at the 2018 meeting regarding new methods of engaging various stakeholders, as well as perspectives from other stakeholders. Topics discussed included an online portal to better reach patients, experiences with a public-private partnership, steps by the National Institutes of Health to improve engagement with research and improve the dissemination of results, and the experiences of the United States Food and Drug Administration attempting to improve stakeholder engagement following the passage of a new law to promote drug development. The round table discussion provided interesting insights into a critical research topic, and shared first-hand experience of attempts to improve engagement with a variety of stakeholders.
任何研究工作的一个重要方面是让各利益相关方参与进来，共同努力，推动当前问题相关知识的发展。儿科麻醉神经毒性的研究可以从旨在提高政府机构、制药公司、研究界，尤其是患者努力和奉献精神的干预措施中受益。儿科麻醉神经发育评估（PANDA）研讨会是一个两年一次的会议，会上介绍了该领域研究的最新进展，并在圆桌讨论中讨论了与该领域相关的问题。在这里，我们总结了 2018 年会议上关于如何让各利益相关方参与进来的新方法的讨论，以及来自其他利益相关方的观点。讨论的主题包括一个更好地接触患者的在线门户、公私合作伙伴关系的经验、美国国立卫生研究院为改善与研究的参与度和提高研究结果的传播所采取的步骤，以及美国食品和药物管理局在通过一项新的促进药物开发的法律后，试图改善利益相关方参与度的经验。圆桌讨论为一个关键的研究课题提供了有趣的见解，并分享了为改善与各种利益相关方的参与度而进行的首次尝试的第一手经验。
