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.

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:
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an exercise program, meditation or both combined, on mental stress levels of Cypriot men and women. The group chosen for this study is the working population between 30 and 50 years old, relatively recently urbanised and in a situation of rebuilding their lives following war which displaced them from their traditional homes and way of life. For this group the culture of physical exercise and of deliberate relaxation techniques had not taken root.
METHODS:
40 subjects were committed to participate in the study and they were assigned to: Group A, the exercise group, Group B, the meditation group, and group C, who received both exercise and meditation. A control group D was matched for age and background. All subjects were assessed for physical fitness. They were also given psychometric questionnaires assessing quality of life (WHO-Bref) and stress (STAI form X-2).
An individual exercise prescription was given to groups A and C, 3-4 times per week. Groups B and D attended a meditation session once per week, with instructions to continue the program at home. Group D was not assigned any kind of exercise.
RESULTS:
The groups did not differ from each other at baseline, either on physical fitness or quality of life measurements. There was however a very high drop-out rate of 60% with very few completing their assigned program. This made it hard to draw solid conclusions concerning the effects of each type of intervention. The combined approach, exercise and meditation had a more positive effect than the other interventions.
COMMENT:
The high drop-out rate raises the question whether this working generation of Cypriots needs more preparation to comply with such a program and this merits more sociological investigation. Another question concerns the better results in those who adhered to both exercise and meditation. This group may be self selected, having more faith and expectation from these methods.
