Colleagues,

We wish to identify researchers who are currently or interested in
conducting research in areas that can possibly shed light on the
tragic events of this week and our options for the future (e.g.,
social movements, religious groups, international relations, group
identity, Islamic/Arabic groups in the US).  Due to the necessity of
getting started quickly the Program will fund proposals through the
Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) mechanism.  Programs at
NSF have the ability to give SGER grants up to $100K for exploratory
research using an expedited review process.  SGERs are "proposals for
small-scale, exploratory, and high-risk research...Such research is
characterized as preliminary work on untested and novel ideas;
ventures into emerging research ideas; ....having extreme urgency
with regard to availability of or access to data, facilities, or
specialized equipment, including quick-response research on natural
disaster and similar unanticipated events; and efforts of similar
character likely to catalyze rapid and innovative advances."


If you know of researchers who may be interested, please have them
contact us immediately,
