The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted many aspects of neuroscience research. At the 2020 Society of Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SNACC) Annual Meeting, the SNACC Research Committee met virtually to discuss research challenges encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic along with possible strategies for facilitating research activities. These challenges and recommendations are included in this Consensus Statement. The objectives are to: (1) provide an overview of the disruptions and challenges to neuroscience research caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and; (2) put forth a set of consensus recommendations for strengthening research sustainability during and beyond the current pandemic. Specific recommendations are highlighted for adapting laboratory and human subject study activities to optimize safety. Complementary research activities are also outlined for both laboratory and clinical researchers if specific investigations are impossible because of regulatory or societal changes. The role of virtual platforms is discussed with respect to fostering new collaborations, scheduling research meetings, and holding conferences such that scientific collaboration and exchange of ideas can continue. Our hope is for these recommendations to serve as a valuable resource for investigators in the neurosciences and other research disciplines for current and future research disruptions.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对神经科学研究的许多方面都产生了影响。在 2020 年麻醉学和危重病学神经科学学会（SNACC）年会上，SNACC 研究委员会以虚拟方式举行会议，讨论了 COVID-19 大流行期间遇到的研究挑战以及促进研究活动的可能策略。这些挑战和建议包含在本共识声明中。目的是：（1）概述 COVID-19 大流行对神经科学研究造成的干扰和挑战；（2）提出一系列加强当前大流行期间及之后研究可持续性的共识建议。重点提出了一系列适应实验室和人体研究活动的建议，以优化安全性。如果由于监管或社会变化而无法进行特定调查，则还概述了针对实验室和临床研究人员的补充研究活动。讨论了虚拟平台的作用，以促进新的合作，安排研究会议和举办会议，以便能够继续进行科学合作和思想交流。我们希望这些建议能为神经科学和其他研究领域的研究人员提供有价值的资源，以应对当前和未来的研究中断。
