Abstract
A coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new global health problem. The Korean government is pursuing to gain its future growth engines and promoting short-term economic stimulation by investing in research and development (R&D) to improve national technological capabilities that can respond to the spread of the global epidemic. It is required to need knowledge information to establish the direction of future national planning thru understanding the status quo of R&D investment in terms of research fields. Four corona-related R&D fields were drawn on the basis of analyzing major nations' R&D funding data (USA, EU etc.) and two differentiated R&D fields were added through comparative analysis with domestic R&D projects. Domestic and foreign research organization-the research title-the scale of the research funding-the project period were presented in terms of the suggested 6(7 details) R&D research fields. Meanwhile R&D projects that have featured in the convergence of interdisciplinary were provided. This study proved the excellence of coronavirus detection and on-site diagnostic capabilities that are currently globally highlighted by deriving differentiated research fields from the domestic competitive advantage fields related to corona viruses and also suggested intensive investment research fields.
