João Monjardino Award 2022 dedicated to viral diseases

The João Monjardino Award 2022 is dedicated to the theme "Viral Diseases: Epidemiology, Etiopathogenesis, and Control." Applications will be accepted from June 15 to September 30, 2022.

This award was created in 2021, replacing the former Pulido Valente Award, and is the result of an agreement between the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the Professor Francisco Pulido Valente Foundation. Its purpose is to distinguish the best article published on the theme proposed for each edition, which this year is "Viral Diseases: Epidemiology, Etiopathogenesis, and Control," addressing the results of research carried out by a researcher under the age of 35 at the date of submission of the application, at an institution within the national scientific and technological system. There is no restriction on the year of publication of the article.

Candidates may participate with a single original work that has been published or accepted for publication (duly proven) in a national or international journal in the field, and must be the first author or co-author (provided that they are recognized in the publication as having made a contribution identical to that of the first author).

The prize is worth €10,000 (ten thousand euros), shared equally by the two Foundations and awarded in a single installment.
Applications will be evaluated according to the following criteria: Scientific quality of the article; Relevance of the study and relevance of the results obtained within the scope of Call; and Contribution of the candidate to the work published or accepted for publication.
