TRB Webinar: Enter and Search Projects Like a Pro with Research in Progress Database

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 Wednesday, September 8, 2021 to highlight the latest information about RIP's search and data entry interfaces. In order to comply with Public Access Plan requirements, projects that receive federal funding must be entered into the RIP database. The presenter shared updated information from the past year.

The presentation slides and recording are available.
