The 2023 João Monjardino Award addresses the theme "Mental Health: Clinical and Services Research"

The João Monjardino Award 2023, now in its third edition, will recognize the best scientific article published on the theme of "Mental Health: Clinical and Services Research." Applications are open until September 29, 2023, and the prize is worth €10,000.

Articles published under the Call theme, with no restriction on the year of publication, describing the results of research carried out at an institution within the national scientific and technological system by a researcher under the age of 35 at the date of submission of the application, are eligible for submission.

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.

Applications will be evaluated according to the following criteria: scientific quality of the article; relevance of the study and significance of the results obtained within the scope of Call; and contribution of the applicant to the work published or accepted for publication.

The João Monjardino 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.
