2021年9月20日新西兰新闻秘书处消息，政府投资3600纽币资金用于防治传染病，研究Covid-19和其他传染病专用。这项投资将提高我们对未来大流行病作准备。
研究将侧重于传染病的预防、控制和管理
政府正在投资一个新的传染病研究平台，以加强新西兰的Covid-19应对和备灾。
研究、科学和创新部副部长Ayesha Verrall博士说：”我们从一开始就从科学上了解了我们对Covid-19的反应，因此我们拯救了生命。
但是，缺乏专门的传染病研究基金一直是我们国内科学能力的长期差距。当大流行来袭时，科学家要么自愿花时间支持Covid-19的应对措施，要么获得小块研究的特别资助。为了解决这个问题，我们将在三年内投资3600万纽币，用于一项新的研究方案，以维持尖端科学对对策的贡献。
该资金重点将放在与Covid-19有关的重大研究问题上，这是所有传染病所共有的。第一优先领域是加强预防和控制，包括更好地了解疾病传播和进一步疫苗研究。第二是改善我们对传染病的管理，例如通过诊断、监测和治疗。
减少传染病对毛利人和太平洋人民的影响，促进我们下一代大流行科学家的发展，是这项工作的主要推动力。
这项重要的投资将使我们能够维持科学家对Covid-19响应、提高能力和 pr 做出的宝贵贡献，为未来的大流行做好准备。它将在科学家、卫生系统和大流行应对之间产生实际合作”艾莎·维拉尔说。
去年，MBIE和卫生部与研究部门合作，确定最需要研究的领域，列出这项投资的优先事项
· 该基金将与毛利人和太平洋社区、研究人员、临床医生和政府机构共同制定详细的研究方案
· 这笔资金已从未动用的拨款中重新分配给COVID-19反应和恢复基金
· COVID-19反应和恢复基金为皇家研究机构充值了资金，以便它们能够在面临大流行导致的商业收入下降时继续运作
· CRI 收入的下降没有预测的那么多，这意味着部分充值没有花掉
· 重要的是，政府的科学投资反映并响应新西兰不断变化的需求

Government funding to fight infectious diseases
· $36 million for research into Covid-19 and other infectious diseases
· The investment will improve our readiness for future pandemics
· Research will focus on prevention, control, and management of infectious diseases
The Government’s investing in a new Infectious Diseases Research Platform to boost Aotearoa New Zealand’s Covid-19 response and preparedness for future pandemics.
“Our response to Covid-19 has been informed by science from the beginning, and as a result we have saved lives,” Associate Minister of Research, Science and Innovation Dr Ayesha Verrall said.
“But the lack of a dedicated infectious diseases research fund has been a longstanding gap in our domestic science capabilities. When the pandemic hit, scientists either volunteered time to support the Covid-19 response, or received ad hoc grants for small pieces of research. To address this, we are investing $36 million over three years in a new programme of research to sustain the contribution of cutting-edge science to the response.
“The focus will be on major research questions relating to Covid-19, which are common to all infectious diseases. The first priority area is improving prevention and control, including through better understanding of disease transmission, and further vaccine research. The second is in improving our management of infectious diseases, for instance through diagnostics, surveillance and therapeutics.
“Reducing the impact of infectious diseases on Māori and Pacific people, and promoting the development of our next generation of pandemic scientists, are key drivers of this work.
“This important investment will enable us to sustain the valuable contribution scientists make to the Covid-19 response, improve capability and prepare for future pandemics. It will generate practical collaborations between scientists, the health system, and the pandemic response,” Ayesha Verrall said.
Last year MBIE and the Ministry of Health worked with the health and research sectors to identify areas where research was most needed, leading to the priorities for this investment
· The fund will co-create detailed research programmes with Māori and Pacific communities, researchers, clinicians and government agencies
· The money has been reprioritised from an unspent allocation to the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund
· The COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund topped up the funding to Crown Research Institutes, to enable them to continue operating in the face of a decline in commercial revenues due to the pandemic
· CRI revenue has not fallen as much as forecast, meaning some of that top-up was not spent
· It is important the Government’s science investment reflects, and is responsive to, New Zealand’s changing needs
