The Transportation Research Board's Research in Progress (RiP) website contains the Research In Progress (RiP) Database and a data-entry system to allow users in State Departments of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and University Transportation Centers to add, modify and delete information on their current research projects. The RiP database now contains over 11600 current or recently completed transportation research projects. Most of the RiP records are projects funded by Federal and State Departments of Transportation. University transportation research is also included. The RiP Database now serves as a clearinghouse of University Transportation Centers ongoing research.

International research projects from the TRIP file of the International Transport Research Documentation Database are now included in the RiP database. The Transportation Association of Canada supplies records from its Canadian Surface Transportation Research Database for RiP.

The Research in Progress website allows users to:
  • Search the entire Research in Progress file by various fields
  • Browse project records by subject
  • Use a look up directory for individuals and organizations
  • Subscribe to receive e-mail notification of new RiP records in specific subject areas
  • Submit current research projects (Non-DOT persons can submit with an online form.)

    Authorized individuals can also:
  • Add, modify, and delete RiP records
  • Submit Research in Progress records using a data entry form or batch load
