Support for the International Research Consortium on Animal Health

动物疾病会造成严重的社会、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，因此畜牧业面临的主要威胁越来越多是全球性的，因此它们需要全球解决方案，而这只能通过协调一致的研究努力来实现。为了应对这些挑战，一个由来自大约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，改善研究活动的合作，努力制定共同的研究议程，并就影响畜牧生产和/或人类健康的主要动物疾病协调研究资助。该网络作为STAR-IDAZ IRC运作，并得到了先前的SIRCAH，国际动物卫生研究联盟秘书处（Horizon 2020, 2016-2022）的支持。SIRCAH2将以其前身的成功为基础，实现国际层面的研究协调，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，并促进制定重点疾病/问题的研究路线图。SIRCAH2将支持差距分析活动，以制定这些路线图，这些路线图将突出研究和知识差距。将绘制当前和计划中的研究图，以确定哪些差距正在得到解决，哪些资金不足。这将成为鼓励规划协调和集中努力解决优先研究差距的筹资建议的基础。这将加速动物卫生研究，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、健康和环境友好型粮食系统的持续发展。

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.
