UMN's Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition

Just came across a nice gem: a center for advanced research into what is known as "language acquisition".

From Website

The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) is one of the U.S. Department of Education's Title VI National Language Resource Centers, whose role is to improve the nation's capacity to teach and learn foreign languages effectively.
