N1 - Funding Information:
The National Institute for Health Research and other United Kingdom grant funders fully supported the cessation of planned research activity. Our university worked to make sure that trainees and faculty would not be disadvantaged by anticipated delays in the completion of graduate degree programs or additional time elapsed on the tenure track. We are formulating bridge funding for doctoral students who are within 6 months of completion of their degrees but who may be delayed because of the current COVID-19 crisis.

N2 - The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis continues to grow and has resulted in marked changes to clinical operations. In parallel with clinical preparedness, universities have shut down most scientific research activities. Radiology researchers are currently grappling with these challenges that will continue to affect current and future imaging research. The purpose of this article is to describe the collective experiences of a diverse international group of academic radiology research programs in managing their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The acute response at six distinct institutions will be described first, exploring common themes, challenges, priorities, and practices. This will be followed by reflections about the future of radiology research in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
