BIAL Foundation Archive
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: ABSTRACT:
The objectives of the project were to undertake a critical review of theoretical and empirical accounts of animal psi (ANPSI) research, and to provide a conceptual metaphor analysis of academic and lay accounts of animal psi. The literature review highlighted the central importance of the human-animal relationship in animal psi research. This relationship structures both theoretical and methodological issues, including assumptions about the ‘normal’ perceptual and cognitive abilities of other species, the impact of the human-animal relationship on experimenter psi and the evidential value of spontaneous cases of psi. The evidence suggests that animal psi may function as an expression of relationship or ‘resonance’ between individuals, and indicates the necessity for embracing more relational models of psi, that can more readily incorporate its potentially inter-subjective nature. The conceptual metaphor analysis identified a number of assumptions, orienting and generative metaphors. The analysis revealed an expressed preference within academic accounts for evidence-oriented research emphasising the natural behaviour of animals, and the constraints upon this behaviour, which structure the search for ever more exact measurement of psi. In contrast to the more modern experimental parapsychological studies, older and lay theoretical accounts rely on quasi-spiritual concepts to account for ostensible ANPSI and frame these behaviours in a much more complex way. By contrasting these two sets of conceptual models, their underlying theoretical and philosophical assumptions become clearer, highlighting their epistemological context and the role of debate and rhetoric in
their construction.
