Field: Evolutionary Dynamics 
Value: up to $200,000USD per annum for 2 yearsDetails: http://www.templeton.org/node/1521
Deadline: 31 Jan 2012

The deadline is rather soon, but the initial application requirements are not that taxing, so someone might be interested in putting an application in. The reason I list it here is due to two of the suggested research questions which have relevance to current work in evolutionary linguistics:

• Can we build precise models for the evolution of cells, multi-cellular organisms, animal societies and human language? 
  
• What are the differences between genetic and cultural evolution, and how can these differences be formalized?

The Tokyo Evolutionary Linguistics Forum is being organized as a venue to extend discussions on any interesting issues raised at this years 9th International Conference on the Evolution of Language (Evolang9) which is being held form the 13th to 16th of March in Kyoto. It is hoped that the event will stimulate interest in this burgeoning field of study in the Tokyo academic community, and lead to ongoing collaborations between local and international researchers.
