The Bial Foundation is a Portuguese non-profit institution of public utility, with the mission of fostering the scientific study of the human being from the physical and spiritual perspectives.[1]
The Foundation was established in 1994 by the Bial pharmaceutical company [2], together with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities, and it is managed by representatives from both institutions.
It develops its activity of scientific patronage mainly through managing three Awards – the Prémio Bial de Medicina Clínica[3], the Bial Award in Biomedicine[4], and the Maria de Sousa Award[5], the Grants for Scientific Research[6], the Nuno Grande Doctoral Scholarships[7], and the "Behind and Beyond the Brain" Symposia.
Over the years, the Bial Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and then worldwide. Today it is considered a reference for its support in neuroscience and parapsychology research, aiming to stimulate new research that benefits people, providing more health and contributing to new levels of knowledge. Through the 15th editions of the Grants for Scientific Research in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology[8], the Foundation has already approved for funding 947 projects, involving 1900 researchers from 31 countries.

Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove:
Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.
If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.
