COMPACT BINARY COALESCENCE (CBC) EVENTS REPRESENT POWERFUL ENGINES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GRAVITATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETIC AND NEUTRINO RADIATION. MANY FACILITIES AROUND THE WORLD -- LIKE OUR REIONIZATION AND TRANSIENTS INFRARED CAMERA -- ARE ENGAGED IN ATTEMPTING TO FIND THE ELECTROMAGNETIC COUNTERPARTS TO LIGO GRAVITY WAVE TRIGGERS. A COMPLEMENTARY APPROACH -- GIVEN THE POSSIBLE LINKAGE BETWEEN SHORT-DURATION GRBS AND CBC EVENTS -- IS TO FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWUP OF SGRBS. WE PROPOSE TO UTILIZE A NOVEL SGRB SELECTION METHODOLOGY TO OPTIMIZE FERMI FOLLOWUP WITH RATIR AND TWO OTHER NEW FACILITIES COMING ONLINE AT THE SAME OBSERVATORY.THESE OBSERVATIONS WILL IDENTIFY THE SGRB AFTERGLOW IN WIDE-FIELD OBSERVATIONS AND FACILITATE DEEP OBSERVATIONS ON LARGER APERTURE TELESCOPES. A PROGRAM ESTABLISHED NOW TO ROUTINELY FOLLOW FERMI SGRBS -- LIKELY OUR MOST DIRECT LINK TO CANDIDATE GRAVITY WAVE SOURCES -- WILL SHED IMPORT LIGHT ON THESE ELUSIVE EVENTS.
