The author discusses the background for the idea of framing explicit policies on science and technology in the countries. She refers to the work of PAHO's Advisory Committee on Research (formerly Advisory Committee on Medical Research) and to statements made by governments on different occasions to the effect that the countries should establish their own research infrastructure. She mentions the basic elements and components of a national policy on science and technology, enunciates the principles that contribute to the establishment of a set of objectives, and states a number of premises that ensure the attainment of those objectives. She ends with some general observations on the criteria for the setting of priorities in health research.
作者探讨了在各国制定明确的科学技术政策这一想法的背景。她提及了泛美卫生组织研究咨询委员会（前身为医学研究咨询委员会）的工作，以及各国政府在不同场合发表的声明，大意是各国应建立自己的研究基础设施。她提到了国家科学技术政策的基本要素和组成部分，阐明了有助于确立一系列目标的原则，并陈述了确保实现这些目标的若干前提条件。最后，她对卫生研究中确定优先事项的标准发表了一些一般性看法。
