dc.descriptionI review progress toward the experimental study of polarized proton collisions at RHIC, at center-of-mass energies of several hundred GeV. The tools under development for these experiments are summarized, with emphasis on the complementarity for the spin program of the two major detectors, PHENIX and STAR. The proposed research program includes measurements of the spin structure of hadrons, tests of QCD predictions for spin observables, and polarization searches for interactions beyond the Standard Model. I argue, in particular, that RHIC should provide the best determination of the gluonic contribution to proton spin foreseen for the coming decade.
