With this call for proposals, the Center for Evolutionary Science has a limited pool of funds to support Institute-wide research into evolutionary change via both biotic and anthropogenic forces. The Center supports the investigation of these phenomena at any time scale or level of biological complexity. Areas that fall under the scope of the Center include (but are not limited to):

• History of life on Earth (and other bodies)

• Population dynamics, population genetics, and ecology

• Biotic causes and consequences of climate change

• Host-parasite/host-virus coevolution, from molecular interactions to epidemiology

• Genome evolution, comparative genomics, phylogenetics, and the Tree of Life

• Evolution of molecules, cell signaling pathways, development and body plans

• Evolution of nervous systems and behavior

• Population engineering

• Functional morphology, adaptation, and biomechanics

• Evolutionary anthropology, linguistics and cultural evolution

​

The number of grants awarded will depend upon available funding and the number of strong applications received. Questions and proposals (along with DAFs) should be submitted to: evolution@caltech.edu.

Applications due January 21, 2025!
