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.

COVID-19 时代及以后进行神经科学研究的路线图：SNACC 研究委员会的建议。

2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行影响了神经科学研究的许多方面。在麻醉学和重症监护神经科学学会 (SNACC) 2020 年年会上，SNACC 研究委员会举行了虚拟会议，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。目标是：(1) 概述 COVID-19 大流行对神经科学研究造成的干扰和挑战；(2) 提出一系列共识建议，以加强当前大流行期间和之后的研究可持续性。强调了调整实验室和人类受试者研究活动以优化安全性的具体建议。如果由于监管或社会变化而无法进行具体调查，还为实验室和临床研究人员概述了补充研究活动。讨论了虚拟平台在促进新合作、安排研究会议和召开会议以继续科学合作和思想交流方面的作用。我们希望这些建议能够成为神经科学和其他研究学科的研究人员应对当前和未来研究中断的宝贵资源。
