Abstract:

The Federal Research In Progress (FEDRIP) Database provides access to information about more than 150,000 research projects in the fields of the physical sciences, engineering, and life sciences. Each entry summarizes a research project, its objectives and, when available, funding, and intermediate findings. Compiled from 12 government sources including: USEPA, USGS, and USDA. The ongoing research announced in FEDRIP is an important component to the technology transfer process in the U.S.; FEDRIP's uniqueness lies in its structure as a non bibliographic information source of research in progress. Project descriptions generally include: project title, keywords, start date, estimated completion date, principal investigator, performing and sponsoring organizations, summary, and progress report. Record content varies depending on the source agency. FEDRIP can be utilized to:
        • Avoid research duplication,
        • Locate sources of support,
        • Identify leads in the literature,
        • Stimulate ideas for planning,
        • Identify gaps in areas of investigation,
        • Locate individuals with expertise, and
        • Complement searches of completed research.

          How To Access The Data

          The Database is available online via several commercial services, including DIALOG (Knight-Ridder Information, Inc.) and Knowledge Express Data Systems. Database coverage and pricing may vary. The FEDRIP Database can also be leased directly from NTIS.
