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:
Fifteen children between the ages of 3-6 years who had reported memories of previous lives were evaluated using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: 4th edition, the Survey Form of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist, the Child Dissociative Checklist, the Children’s Apperception Test, and the Family Questionnaire.
On the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, the children’s composite scores were significantly above average, with verbal reasoning and abstract/visual reasoning in the above average range and quantitative reasoning in the superior range. On the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, the children scored significantly above average in daily living skills, motor skills, and on the overall composite score. The Child Behavior Checklist averages were all well below the score of 70 that indicates clinically significant problems. Most of the children scored low on the Child Dissociative Checklist, indicating few symptoms. The Children’s Apperception Test results showed no unusual themes, and the families did not show any distinct patterns of functioning on the Family Questionnaire.
In summary, children who reported past-life memories demonstrated above average intelligence, and their reports did not appear to arise from psychopathology.

Life before life: A scientific investigation of children's memories of previous lives
Publication year: 2001
Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Children who remember a previous life usually begin talking about it, quite spontaneously, at the age of two or three. This remarkable book builds on the ground-breaking investigations into reincarnation carried out by Professor Ian Stevenson at the University of Virginia. For the past 40 years, doctors at this major American medical centre have conducted research into your children's reports of past-life memories. In Life Before Life, psychiatrist Dr Jim B. Tucker reveals their fascinating research.
•British twins whose birthmarks and behaviour closely resembles their deceased older sisters.
•A boy in Africa who knows the names and personal details of everyone in another village without ever having been there.
•A child who dies of a gunshot in a previous life and carries a birthmark of the same size, shape and placement in this life.
This remarkable material will challenge and ultimately change your understanding about life and death.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Numerous cases of children reporting memories of previous lives have previously been described. Most have come from cultures with a predominant belief in reincarnation, but the current study involved the investigation and psychological study of 15 cases from the United States. Of those, 11 reported memories of the lives of strangers, while 3 described the lives of deceased grandparents and one the life of a greatgrandparent. Most of the parents reported that they had neutral or negative feelings about reincarnation before the cases developed, and only three described a significant belief in reincarnation prior to their children’s statements. With each case, the parents and the child, aged 3-6 years, were interviewed,
and a number of psychological test instruments were administered, including the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: 4th edition, the Survey Form of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist, the Child Dissociative Checklist, the Children’s Apperception Test, and the Family Questionnaire. The Children’s Apperception Test is a projective test used to assess general personality functioning, and the Family Questionnaire measures family functioning and, in particular, the dimensions of “Organization-control” and “Cohesion vs. Conflict” in families. On the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, the children’s composite scores were significantly above average, with verbal reasoning and abstract/ visual reasoning in the above average range and quantitative reasoning in the superior range. On the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, the children scored significantly above average in daily living skills, motor skills, and on the overall composite score. The Child Behavior Checklist averages were all in the normal range, well below the scores indicating
clinically significant problems in behavior. Most of the children obtained low scores on the Child Dissociative Checklist, indicating few symptoms of dissociation. The Children’s Apperception Test results showed no
unusual themes, and the families did not show any distinct patterns of functioning on the Family Questionnaire. In conclusion, these findings indicate that American children who report past-life memories are intelligent, and their reports do not appear to arise from psychopathology.

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.

Psychological Evaluation of American Children Who Report Memories of Previous Lives

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Some young children claim to have memories of a previous life, and they often show behaviors that appear related to the memories. This pilot study examined the psychological functioning of such children in the United States. Fifteen participants, ages 3–6 years, underwent testing with the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (fourth edition) and the Children’s Apperception Test. Their parents completed the Survey Form of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, the Child Behavior Checklist, the Child Dissociative Checklist, and the Family Questionnaire. The children’s composite intelligence scores on the Stanford-Binet were greater than one standard deviation above the mean, with relative strengths in verbal
reasoning and quantitative reasoning. On the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, the children scored significantly above average in daily living skills, motor skills, and on the overall composite score. Thirteen of the 15 children obtained low scores on the Child Dissociative Checklist, indicating no dissociative thought patterns in most participants. The Child Behavior Checklist averages all fell within the normal range, revealing no clinically significant behavior problems. Results on the Children’s Apperception Test revealed no unusual themes, and the families did not show any distinct patterns of functioning on the Family Questionnaire. Young children who claim to remember previous lives show high intelligence, and testing revealed no evidence that their reports arise from psychopathology.
