reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 both the physical and spiritual perspectives.^[1]

The BIAL Foundation was established in 1994 by the BIAL pharmaceutical company, together with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities, and it is managed by representatives from both institutions.

The Foundation develops its activity of scientific patronage mainly through managing three Awards – the Prémio BIAL de Medicina Clínica, the BIAL Award in Biomedicine,^[2] and the Maria de Sousa Award –, the Grants for Scientific Research,^[3] and the "Behind and Beyond the Brain" Symposia.^[4]

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 15^th editions of the Grants for Scientific Research in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology, the Foundation has already approved for funding 865 projects, involving 1702 researchers from 30 countries.^[5]
