Grant Funding for Empirical Work

I agree with Michael that it is worth checking out Ron Wright's provocative post at PrawfsBlawg on grant funding.   To backup some of Ron's ideas, I am once again linking to this terrific compilation of external funding sources (via the excellent law librarians at SUNY-Buffalo).  One of my suggestions in ELS on the Cheap was to apply for a grant.  It can be a great learning experience that forces a lawyer to "think like a social scientist."
