Support for the International Research Consortium on Animal Health (SIRCAH2)

动物疾病造成严重的社会、经济和环境损害，影响动物福利，并直接威胁人类健康。这些疾病是跨界的，因此对畜牧业的越来越多的主要威胁是全球性的，因此它们需要全球性的解决方案，而这只能通过协调的研究努力来实现。为了应对这些挑战，来自约50个国家的研发项目所有者、管理者和国际组织组成的国际网络同意分享信息，加强研究活动的合作，致力于共同的研究议程，并协调对影响畜牧业生产和/或人类健康的主要动物疾病的研究资金。该网络作为STAR-IDAZ IRC运营，并得到了前SIRCAH，国际动物健康研究联盟秘书处（Horizon 2020，2016-2022）的支持。SIRCAH 2将在其前身的成功基础上，在国际一级协调研究，以确定和解决知识方面的关键差距，并加快制定新的或改进的疾病控制战略。为了实现这些目标，SIRCAH 2将为IRC委员会和成员提供组织和沟通支持，并促进优先疾病/问题的研究路线图的制定。SIRCAH 2将支持差距分析活动，以制定这些路线图，其中将突出研究和知识差距。将绘制当前和计划中的研究，以确定哪些差距正在解决，哪些资金不足。这将是供资建议的基础，以鼓励方案协调一致，并集中努力解决优先研究的差距。这将加速动物健康研究，加强国际研究合作，并提供兽医创新，以支持从初级生产到消费的公平，健康和环境友好的食品系统的持续发展。

Animal diseases cause serious social, economic and environmental damage, impact on animal welfare and can directly threaten human health. These diseases are transboundary, so an increasing number of the major threats to the livestock industry are global so they need global solutions, which can only be achieved through a coordinated research effort. To address these challenges, an international network of R&D programme owners, managers and international organisations from around 50 countries agreed to share information, improve collaboration on research activities, work towards common research agendas and coordinated research funding on the major animal diseases affecting livestock production and/or human health. This network operates as STAR-IDAZ IRC and has been supported by previous SIRCAH, Secretariat for the International Research Consortium on Animal Health (Horizon 2020, 2016-2022). SIRCAH2 will build on the success of its predecessor, in enabling the coordination of research at an international level, to identify and address critical gaps in knowledge and speed up the development of new or improved disease control strategies. To achieve these goals SIRCAH 2 will provide organisational and communication support to the IRC Committees and members and facilitate the development of research roadmaps for priority diseases/issues. SIRCAH2 will support gap analysis activities to develop these roadmaps, which will highlight research and knowledge gaps. Current and planned research will be mapped to identify which gaps are being address and which are underfunded. This will be the basis of funding recommendations to encourage programme alignment and a focused effort on priority research gaps. This will accelerate research on animal health, reinforce international research cooperation and provide veterinary innovations to support continuous development of fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food systems from primary production to consumption.
