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.

Mindful and informed: Promoting Mediterranean diet sustainability through environmental information and mindfulness induction

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Purpose
The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of an informative message (providing information about the environmental impact of food production) and a brief mindfulness induction message (proposing breathing and interdependence exercises) alone and in combination on promoting sustainable food selection aligned with the Mediterranean diet. Additionally, we examined whether the environmental driver, defined as the momentary importance attributed to environmental impact in food purchasing decisions, mediated the relationship between the messages and sustainable food selection.
Design/methodology/approach
A community-based randomized experimental design was implemented using the Prolific online platform between October and December 2024. The sample consisted of 271 Italian-speaking participants randomly assigned to one of four conditions: control (no message), informative message, mindfulness induction message or combined message (informative plus mindfulness induction). Following message exposure, adherence to the Mediterranean diet was assessed through a simulated food purchasing task.
Findings
Participants exposed to the combined message showed significantly higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet compared to those exposed to no message, and to both those exposed to the mindfulness message or the informative message alone. Moreover, both the mindfulness induction and the combined message exerted significant indirect effects on Mediterranean diet adherence and overall diet scores through an increase in the environmental driver, relative to the control condition.
Originality/value
The study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that combining informational content with brief experiential practices that promote awareness and self-reflection can more effectively support sustainable food choices than information-based interventions alone.

Differential contributions of mindfulness, gratitude, and forgiveness to psychological distress, well-being, and emotion regulation: A cross-sectional study
Publication year: 2026

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objectives: Virtues have been recognized as central to human flourishing and psychological well-being. This study tested whether three dispositional virtues, i.e., mindfulness, gratitude, and forgiveness, show distinct and overlapping associations with psychological distress, subjective well-being, and emotion-regulation difficulties in adults. Methods: A sample of Italian community adults (N = 211; 151 women, 60 men; mean age = 28.63, standard deviation [SD] = 10.89) completed self-report questionnaires assessing mindfulness, gratitude, forgiveness, psychological distress (stress, anxiety, and depression), psychological well-being (subjective happiness, life satisfaction), and emotion regulation difficulties. Sex, age, and lifetime meditation experience were covariates. Results: Correlation analysis showed higher virtues related to lower distress and higher well-being. In multivariable models, mindfulness and gratitude uniquely predicted lower depression, anxiety, and stress, whereas forgiveness was non-significant for distress. For well-being, all three virtues were positive, unique predictors, with gratitude and forgiveness showing comparatively stronger links than mindfulness. Emotion-regulation difficulties were lower with higher mindfulness and forgiveness, whereas gratitude was non-significant. Mindfulness, gratitude, and forgiveness form a complementary virtues profile, where different virtues reinforce each other, i.e., mindfulness and gratitude align more with reduced distress, gratitude and forgiveness with enhanced well-being, and mindfulness together with forgiveness with better emotion regulation. Conclusion: Mindfulness, gratitude, and forgiveness each contribute uniquely to mental health: mindfulness and gratitude relate more to reduced distress, gratitude and forgiveness to enhanced well-being, and mindfulness and forgiveness to better emotion regulation. Together, they form a complementary virtues profile that supports psychological flourishing and may inform future virtue-based prevention and intervention programs.
