I'd be willing to help out with the research.

I actually have some experience with usability tests.  We have a great
(and expensive) usability lab at work.  I just finished helping to
administer a week long test for our product.

Usability tests are worth every penny you spend on them.  You
get a perspective on the interface that not even a 
usability engineer can give you.
GUI's are all about the user - What do they think?  What
makes them click? (pun intended)

I'd like to recommend a book to all of you on the usability list - 
"The Humane Interface" by Jef Raskin.  I just started reading
after I read the GNOME usability report.
