The PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research) project has released its calls for tender on research about OA. Calls for the Behavioural Research and Usage Research strands were released on December 22, and tenders are due by February 17, 2009.
See also the pre-release announcement, which notes a third strand of research (economic) to be undertaken in 2009.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
