João Monjardino Prize 2022 dedicated to viral diseases

The João Monjardino Prize 2022 is dedicated to the theme "Viral Diseases: Epidemiology, Etiopathogenesis and Control". Applications are open from June 15 to September 30, 2022.

This award came into being in 2021, replacing the former Pulido Valente Prize, and is the result of a protocol signed between the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the Professor Francisco Pulido Valente Foundation. Its purpose is to distinguish the best article published under the theme proposed for each edition, this year's being "Viral Diseases: Epidemiology, Etiopathogenesis and Control", which addresses the results of research carried out by a researcher under the age of 35 at the time of submitting the application, at an institution in 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 paper, which has been published or accepted for publication (duly proven) in a national or international journal of the specialty, and must be the first author or co-author (as long as it is recognized in the publication as having an identical contribution to that of the first author).

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