The National Plan for Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation (R + D + I) 2004-2007 was approved by the Council of Ministers on 7 November 2003, in compliance with the provisions of Law 13/1986 of 14 April, for the Promotion and Coordination of Scientific and Technical Research. This Plan provides for the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs to participate, through the development of actions, in the financing of research projects related to persons with disabilities and older persons and to such This includes, within the National Programme of Technologies for Health and Welfare, a specific Subprogramme under the name "Technologies of support for people with disabilities and older people". The global concept of support technologies is very broad and is related in a generic way with everything that represents innovation in the service of integration and social normalization, personal autonomy, independence, health and quality of life of people. in different situations of dependency and support needs. In this context, scientific research, development and technological innovation (R & D + I) are built on fundamental instruments not only for the improvement in absolute terms of well-being and full social participation and quality of life, but also to optimize the social benefits that are derived from the resources used for this purpose. At the same time, the development of support technologies and their exploitation in the internal and external market make it possible to maintain the social and economic benefits arising from R & D + I activities. As a result, it is necessary to provide for grants to be allocated to the Support Technologies Sub-programme for people with disabilities and older persons, as currently provided for in the lines of the 2004-2007 Plan. In addition, the National Plan for Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation (I + D + I) 2004-2007 includes the National Program of Social, Economic and Legal Sciences, which contemplates aging as one of the aspects which need to be addressed in the research projects to be developed. Ageing and in a specific way dependence are one of the social phenomena which require a thorough investigation, not only from the point of view of medicine, but also from the perspective of the social sciences, economic and legal, in order to make it easier for the society to deal with the problems that it entails, and to offer alternatives to take advantage of the potential that this group of people offers and to improve its quality of life. In order to meet these goals, the Institute of Older and Social Services (IMSERSO) has entered in its budget of expenditure the appropriate appropriations. This Order is dictated by the provisions of Article 17 of Law 38/2003 of 17 November, General of Grants, in which it is available that the corresponding Ministers will establish the appropriate regulatory bases of the concession in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 24 of Law 50/1997 of 27 November 1997, of the Government, prior to the report of the Legal Services and the corresponding Delegated Intervention, and shall be published in the Official Journal of the State.
