Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing, US, has announced that information on ongoing federally funded projects is now available through EBSCOhost. Federal Research In Progress (FEDRIP) provides information for ongoing research in the fields of engineering, physical & life sciences. The database is seen to be an important component to the technology transfer process in the US.
Federal Research in Progress offers a unique structure as a non-bibliographic information source of research in progress. FEDRIP project descriptions generally include project title, keywords, start date, estimated completion date, principal investigator, performing and sponsoring organisations, summary, and progress report.
By incorporating FEDRIP into their research, users avoid research duplication and complement searches of completed research. Researchers are also able to identify gaps in areas of investigation, identify leads in literature, locate individuals with expertise, locate sources of support, and stimulate ideas for planning.
