Don Quixote Award
2023 DON QUIXOTE AWARD
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Call for Applications
The American Society of Hispanic Psychiatry is accepting applications for the 2023 Don Quixote Award to be presented during our annual meeting in San Francisco, California on May 19-20, 2023.
Early-career Hispanic/Latinx investigators are invited to submit an abstract to present at the conference. Twelve
applicants will be given a travel award to give an oral presentation and will receive a stipend ($1000) to assist with travel
and lodging. Those applicants not selected for an oral presentation will be invited to present their work as a poster, but a
stipend will not be provided. All participants in the meeting will be able to attend all mentoring sessions, which include
lunch tables, a grant writing workshop, a poster session and 1:1 meetings with their assigned mentor.
DON QUIXOTE AWARD
This award will be presented to the best oral presentation by an early-career HL investigator. Don Quixote has been thought as a prototype of idealism, goodwill, magnanimity and justice. For these reasons Don Quixote deserves to be celebrated; and assigning its name to a prime award conferred by the American Society of Hispanic Psychiatry is not only desirable but just, and representative of the highest aspirations and motivations of our society. Award will include a plaque and a 3-year membership to the ASHP.
