Not attempting to answer the question, but I've been nursing a thought about the rationality org that might be useful: The nearby Stanford University has a world-renown program in "decision sciences" http://decision.stanford.edu/ which is basically "how to make decisions scientifically"; they virtually invented influence diagrams, they teach biases as a part of the program, etc. The head of the program, Ronald Howard, also co-founded http://www.decisioneducation.org/ , his teen-oriented "rationality org".
there is probably things to learn from both
if "rationality org" has a value proposition to these organizations they can be useful in teaching opportunities and for credibility building
These do indeed sound like people to talk to, and local too - thanks!
The other guy to talk to (unless you decide to strategically approach younger faculty) is Ross Shachter, inventor of bayes-ball algorithm and some other interesting AI papers.
Please tell me how that goes. Also, you planning to look into this, or Anna et al?
