Start date: 1994
History:
The BIAL Foundation was created in 1994 by Laboratórios BIAL in conjunction with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL’s Foundation mission is to foster the scientific study of Man from both the physical and spiritual perspectives.
Along the years the BIAL Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and after worldwide. Today it is an institution of reference which aims to stimulate new researches that may help people, promote more health and contribute to new milestones to gain access to knowledge.
Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Due to the high levels of financial and personal burden of occupational stress this study aimed to examine mood, diurnal cortisol and stress reactivity among pre-registration doctors (PRHO) on 2 occassions: one capturing high stress (due to high novelty and low control) and one low stress (due to low novelty and high control). This equated to the beginning and end of a clinical rotation. 36 PRHO were recruited (Males=15, mean age 25 years). Measures of mood alongside diurnal cortisol and stress reactivity (using the CO2 test) were assessed at the beginning and end of a rotation.
It was found that self-reported mood remained stable across the 2 assessments as did the stress reactivity. However, significant differences were found for diurnal cortisol, with higher levels on waking at the end of a rotation but a greater rise in cortisol in the half hour after waking at the beginning of a rotation.
These results show evidence of a significant alteration of diurnal function of the HPA in response to occupational demands.

Seasonal differences in the diurnal pattern of cortisol secretion in healthy participants and those with self-assessed seasonal affective disorder

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This study compared the daily pattern of free salivary cortisol secretion in winter and in summer between two groups; participants with self-assessed seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Fifty-two participants completed the study with an equal number in each group. The diurnal pattern of cortisol secretion was assessed across two consecutive weekdays in summer, and two in winter, with conditions being counterbalanced. On each study day participants collected multiple saliva samples in the domestic setting to capture the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and declining levels across the day. In addition, perceived stress, anxiety, depression, state stress and state arousal were assessed using validated questionnaires. There was no evidence for any seasonal changes in psychological data or cortisol pattern for the healthy control population. In summer, self-assessed SAD and control participants had similar psychological and cortisol profiles. In winter however, SAD participants reported greater depression, stress and anxiety, and lower levels of arousal. Furthermore, the CAR was significantly attenuated in SAD participants during winter months. There was no difference in cortisol levels during the rest of the day between controls and SAD participants in winter. In line with the above findings and previous research, there was an inverse relationship between the increase in cortisol following awakening and a measure of seasonality in winter. Furthermore in winter, a general dysphoria construct correlated inversely with the CAR, indicating that participants reporting greater depression, stress and anxiety and lower arousal, exhibited lower CARs. In conclusion, during the shortened photoperiod in winter, the cortisol response to awakening is attenuated in participants with self-assessed SAD in comparison to controls. These findings contribute to the understanding of the physiology of SAD.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The aim of the present study was to describe and understand the physical growth, neuroendocrine functioning and mental development of children placed in Portuguese institutions from the time of admission onwards. It was also our intention to understand the environmental and individual contributors for the outcomes in such developmental domains. Thirty-one children, with ages up to 30 months, were assessed at the time of their admission at the institution and afterwards, in three time point assessments. Institutional caregivers also participated in the study. The physical growth (Direcção-Geral de Saúde, 2005), mental development (Bayley, 2006), and diurnal cortisol production were assessed in four time points throughout 8 months of institutionalization. The sensitive/cooperative behaviors (Ainsworth, Bell, & Stayton, 1974) of the institutional caregiver towards the child were assessed, as well as the quality of the institutional context (Silva et al., 2010). The child pre-institutional life experiences were analyzed. Significant gains were observed in weight and head circumference growth, but no gains occurred in height growth across time. Moderate deficits persisted in cognitive, language and motor development across time. Diurnal cortisol production was higher at the admission at the institution, diminished in the following 5 months but tended to increase again after 8 months of institutionalization. Prenatal experiences, age and the child’s status at the admission at the institution, and the quality of the institutional context contributed to the developmental outcomes.
