Research and Development Programs to Meet National Priorities These 11 programs propose specific subjects In which It Is hoped that results wll I beobtalned, which will enhance knowledge on the couptry1s real tty or that can be appl led to the productive system of goods and services within the duration of the Program. The execution of these programs Is entrusted to the National System of Science and Technology through concerted and lnduclve actions promoted by the CONACYT. The programs are: 1. Investigation of the nature of our society. to favour an awareness of the physical, biotic and social reality cf the country, and a generation of scientific and technical know-how that wll I contribute to a correct understanding of our current condItIons, our resources and our natural I egacy. 2. Investigation on nutrition and health, to link basic research work In with priority cl lnlcal and epidemiological work•
