Good luck on your project. Just a couple pieces of advice, since you are going to be living with this for awhile. (hopefully not as long as I have...)
First, do pick a topic of interest to you. Try not to accept something handed to you (if any faculty tend to do that) if you really aren't interested in the topic. It will be tortuous at times if you aren't interested.
Also, I completely understand wanting to do a project that matters and leaves a mark on the field. But...you have a career for that. Your primary task now is to do the project so you can get onto that career. Thay may mean that you do soemthing smaller than you would if you were already done, but at least you get the ball rolling. It's your body of work that will be important, not one individual project.
'K? But that said, go knock 'em dead! Also, another good database is the Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection.
Good luck,
