The CPC Central Committee's major deployment on epidemic prevention and control will be translated into conscious action by the scientific and technological community

At present, the epidemic prevention and control situation remains grim and complex.

Targeting the urgent needs of front-line prevention and treatment, so that scientific research forces and scientific research results are more inclined to the front-line. Firmly grasp the "window period" of epidemic prevention and control,

take reducing the transition from mild cases to severe cases and reducing the death rate of severe diseases as the focus of current scientific research, adjust the focus of scientific research tasks, and accelerate the progress of research and development and application of results.

Further screening of effective drugs and treatment means, support research on joint drug use schemes, enhance the effect of drug treatment, and accelerate the solution of urgent problems in front-line treatment through clinical trials and treatment coordination.

Vaccine research and development should be carried out in accordance with safety and effectiveness, respect scientific laws and international rules, distinguish emergency use from whole-population use, grasp priorities,

strengthen cooperation with relevant foreign research institutions, and make comprehensive prevention and control preparations for the normalization of epidemics. Virus tracing makes full use of advanced means such as big data and molecular biology to assess the possibility of suspicious animals as hosts,

strengthen comprehensive research on environmental change, continue to monitor the genetic variation information of the novel coronavirus at home and abroad, and identify the influence laws and constraints on the spread of the virus.

Research on transmission routes and risk prevention has been carried out in a targeted manner, focusing on the risk of importation of the epidemic from abroad, the risk of transmission in specific places, the resumption of work and production, and the protection of susceptible populations.

We will promote the spirit of scientists and encourage and guide scientific researchers to demonstrate a good style of study. Excellent style of study is the "lifeline" of scientific research.

In the scientific and technological community, we should vigorously advocate science and technology to serve the country, advocate rigorous and realistic, advocate dedicated research, advocate rational questioning, advocate academic democracy,

and take epidemic prevention and control as the main battlefield of current scientific research work. Guide the majority of scientific researchers to inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition and fine style of study of the older generation of scientists,

have the courage to take responsibility and take the initiative to complete the task of "bombing bunkers" to overcome difficulties, highlight the role of scientific research in the "commando" of epidemic prevention and control,

and will not say success until they win all. Through various forms of popularization of scientific knowledge and dissemination of scientific methods, the signal of scientific prevention and control is actively released to the public, channeling social psychology, stabilizing public emotions, and injecting "stabilizer" into epidemic prevention and control.

We will strengthen forward-looking planning and accelerate the capacity building of China's disease prevention and control and public health scientific research systems. Based on the current situation and with a long-term perspective,

we will make overall arrangements for the key aspects of the layout of the scientific research system, such as disciplinary adjustment, base construction, funding investment, project implementation,

and personnel training, strengthen the integration and interaction of innovation elements, optimize the basic structure and functions of the scientific research system, and make the national strategic scientific and technological forces,

advanced and sophisticated scientific and technological personnel, and efficient organizational and management mechanisms support each other. Make concerted efforts to form an institutionalized and systematic confrontation capability.

We will accelerate research on key core technologies, and increase scientific and technological innovation distribution and support for major foundations, applications and medical equipment such as drugs, vaccines,

testing reagents, artificial lungs, animal models, molecular biology, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, and simulation. We will strengthen the layout of basic frontier areas such as life sciences and biosecurity,

drive basic research with application needs, build more "national instruments" of major scientific and technological achievements, and contribute Chinese wisdom to solving major global problems in the field of public health.

Marx said, "Science is by no means a selfish pleasure." Those who are fortunate enough to devote themselves to scientific research should first put their knowledge to the service of mankind." It will lay a solid foundation for scientific and technological innovation to realize the "two centenary goals" and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
