questions….
BBSRC Strategic Plan 2010-2015
Strategic Plan 2010 – 2015
Food Security Bioenergy and Industrial
Biotechnology
Basic bioscience underpinning health
Three major research priorities
Knowledge exchange, innovation and skills
Ensuring that our world-class science and skilled people have maximum impact
Boosting the UK economy, connecting to policy and improving quality of life.
• Skills and capabilities
• KE and translation
• Promoting innovation
• Culture change
Exploiting new ways of working
Innovative ways of working in an era of rapid technology change, the next generation internet, and quantitative and computational bioscience
Bioscience IS big data science
• New tools and facilities
• Data rich bioscience- Standards- Sharing- interoperability
• Systems biology
Partnerships
Working with our many stakeholders and other funders, nationally and internationally, to deliver our exciting vision for UK bioscience
• Collaborative funding
• Enhancing impact
• Engaging society
• International links
BBSRC Funding Mechanisms for Animal Sciences
• Research Institutes through capital investments, National Capability awards, Institute Strategic Programme Grants (ISPGs)– Institute for Animal Health– Roslin Institute
• Responsive Mode grants + Strategic grants– HEI sector and BBSRC institutes
• Initiatives – CIDLID: BBSRC partnership with DfID and Scottish Gov. – 16 grants awarded. Total funding £13M
• Fellowships• Studentships• TSB: Sustainable Agriculture and Food Platform
BBSRC-DFID Initiatives
• Sustainable Agricultural Research for International Development (SARID) - 2006
• Combating Infectious Disease of Livestock for International Development (CIDLID) - 2008
CIDLID
• Budget: £13M
• Remit: to improve farm animal health, welfare and productivity by enabling the more effective, sustainable management of livestock diseases.
• 16 projects funded
• 7 at IAH
• BBSRC is leading for RCUK on a new Food Security research programme:– multi-funder (RCs and Gov Depts)– multi-disciplinary – long term
• Established a Programme Development Board – co-design programme and governance
New Food Security Research Programme
Rising to the challenge
Productive economy
• Digital economy• Resilient economy• Global uncertainties
Healthy society
• Lifelong health and wellbeing• Connected communities
Sustainable world• Living with environmental change
• Energy• Food security

FMDFMD• A present and continuing severe global threat
• Devastating economic, social and environmental impacts
– severe productivity losses
– disruptions in a wide range of agricultural, industrial and social activities
– major threat to food supply
– major expense in control and re-eradication
– high cost of surveillance and emergency preparedness
