The Templeton World Charity Foundation Diverse Intelligences Initiative supports research that compares cognition, learning, and problem-solving across humans, non-human animals, and artificial intelligence systems.
The Diverse Intelligences Research Hub Application Guidance specifies that two to three 2-year grants will be awarded, each worth up to $800,000, with the option to apply for follow-on funding of at least $1,000,000 for the strongest projects.
The initiative bridges AI, comparative cognition, and philosophical questions about the nature of intelligence, supporting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of machine learning, animal cognition, developmental psychology, and philosophy of mind.
Research priorities include: cross-species cognitive comparison, theory of mind in AI and biological systems, embodied and enactive intelligence, social and cooperative cognition, and metacognition.
Starting in 2026 the parallel John Templeton Foundation will also award over $60 million in grants focused broadly on questions about intelligence across six funding areas, indicating significant expansion of intelligence-related funding across the Templeton family of foundations.
