The Research in Progress (RiP) Database is a leading tool for transportation professionals to stay updated on current or recently completed transportation research projects. TRB hosted a webinar on Friday, September 27, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that provided information about RiP’s search and data entry interfaces. The presenter shared guidance on how to search the RiP Database by various fields; browse project records by subject category; use a look-up function for searching by index terms, individuals, organizations or location; subscribe to receive email notifications of new RiP records in specific subject areas; and export records. 
This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Executive Office.
The slides and recording are available.
