The article considers the state of scientific activity in foreign countries and in Ukraine in the context of the impact of the David-19 pandemic. The study focuses on the Global R&D Financing Forecast, the IMF's science-intensive forecast, the OECD's Review of Why Open Science Is Necessary to Combat COVID-19, and more. A quantitative assessment of the financial support of the scientific sphere of Ukraine and other countries of the world is given. It is estimated that expenditures on science in Ukraine in 2019 amounted to 0.43% of GDP, ie there is no budget funding for research in the amount of at least 1.7% of GDP. Emphasis is placed on the draft State Budget of Ukraine for 2021, which takes into account R&D expenditures in the amount of UAH 11,835.4 million, of which UAH 9072.5 million from the general fund of the state budget. and taking into account the gradual increase in expenditures to support the activities of the NFD, whose scientific council in 2020 approved the ranking lists of projects participating in the competitions "Science for Human Security and Society", where the vast majority of research focuses on the current COVID-19 epidemic. The study found that the COVID-19 pandemic had significant negative effects on R&D, depending on industry and technology. And due to falling incomes, the level of research funding has also decreased. Current experience of measures to combat the spread of coronavirus in developed countries shows that the greatest effectiveness is achieved due to a combination of strict and very strict antiepidemiological measures and the urgent increase and expansion of funding for this medical field, including through redistribution of budgets, approval of new funding programs including at the expense of internal and attraction of external resources.
