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: RESULTS:
We focused on two aspects of Balinese culture in this study: 1) an understanding of the Balinese notion of volition, and 2) an understanding of their psychic beliefs.
We created the Balinese Volitional Competency Questionnaire, an 82 question instrument based on a 5 point Likert scale, which 385 Balinese completed. A factor analysis did not yield sufficiently robust factors, but when analyzing only the 66 questions also used in the Edinburgh Volitional Competency Questionnaire, we found four factors in the Balinese sample matching four factors in the Edinburgh sample. These were: Persistence/Initiative (10 questions), Helping/Influencing Others (10 questions), Positive Self-image/Self-confidence (14 questions), and Handling Outside Influences (7 questions).
Additionally, Prof. Suryani interviewed 10 people using a semi-structured format, and these reinforced the importance of the four factors, as well as supplied additional information. For instance, most of the high volitional subjects described significantly challenging life circumstances that were formative in developing their volition.
The second part of the study concerned the Balinese view of psychic phenomena. We collected 533 surveys containing questions about their psychic beliefs. These revealed a high level of belief in the ubiquity of psychic phenomena. For instance, over 75% of the respondents marked positively to the questions of whether ESP and PK exist. Interestingly, while belief in psi seems to be widespread in Bali, less than a quarter of them said that they could demonstrate these abilities. This finding is attributed to their view that psi abilities are possessed only special individuals and not by the general population.
