We did hear about a month ago that we got an ILI grant (silence
is never golden in these things, I fear); and concerning the NSF
small grants, I wonder if you could be referring to the SGER (Small
Grants for Exploratory Research)--max $50K, no peer review (program
director alone makes the decision), and you apply to the appropriate
division.  See page 10 in the GPG.
