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,
