The Federal Research In Progress (FEDRIP) database provides access to information about ongoing federally funded projects in the fields of the physical sciences, engineering, and life sciences. The ongoing research announced in FEDRIP is an important component to the technology transfer process in the United States. FEDRIP's uniqueness lies in its structure as a non-bibliographic information source of research in progress.

FEDRIP can be used for the following:

• Avoid research duplication
• Complement searches of completed research
• Identify gaps in areas of investigation
• Identify leads in the literature
• Locate individuals with expertise
• Locate sources of support
• Stimulate ideas for planning

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.
