Title:	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: Background: A key characteristic of OBE research is the ability to accurately state whether or not a reported experience is an OBE. Previous OBE research has typically used a single item for discerning OBErs from non-OBErs. The limitations to this method are that participants can falsely identify or reject themselves as OBErs owing to the few number of features contained in the wording of the item. Instead, a scale of items tapping into the varied phenomenology of the OBE would be a more robust and valid screening tool for assessing OBE occurrence. The aim of this study was to develop such a multi-item screening tool. Method: This study was conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1: A Directed Content Analysis of published OBE cases and interviews with OBErs was conducted. The findings were used to develop a questionnaire. Phase 2: An OBE screening questionnaire was designed, piloted and tested. Results: An Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted on the pilot questionnaire data. A five-factor model emerged that provided the best statistical and theoretical solution. The five-factor model was then tested and the data subjected to a Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Results showed that the hypothesised model demonstrated a poor overall fit across five of the six goodness-of-fit indicators, except for the Chi Square ratio which indicated an acceptable fit. As a result, the hypothesised model was rejected. Conclusion: A preliminary version of a multi-item screening scale has been developed to more accurately assess the occurrence of an OBE than using a single item. It is recommended that the final scale should be further validated in a variety of ways with other different samples of OBErs in future longer-term studies.
