I have access to fine specimens of grafting. Two i would like to try is grafting Black Cherry, Prunus serotina, to Chokecherry, Prunus virginiana, both are in the same subgenus.
I'm not sure what i have but it might be Russian olive, Elaeagnus angustifolia, but it could be Silverberry, Elaeagnus commutata. I want to see if a Goumi, Elaeagnus multiflora, could be grafted onto our invasive Russian olive or native silverberry.
also, are there native relatives of the Goji berry here?

Nick, the cherries are easily grafted- late winter is best. Bear in mind that P. virginia is not the best rootstock as it suckers quite a bit.
As for the Russian Olives it would be possible. Finding understock locally would be difficult.
Have a look here:

and here:
Elaeagnus commutata
