Description
High energy polarized $p+p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200-500\,$GeV at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion
Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) provide a unique way to probe the proton spin structure and dynamics
using hard scattering processes.
The production of jets and hadrons is the prime focus of gluon polarization studies. The production
of $W^{-(+)}$ bosons at $\sqrt{s}=500\,$GeV provides an ideal tool to study the spin-flavor structure of the proton.
Various measurements on the study of transverse spin effects have been performed.
Recent results will be presented followed by a brief outlook of future spin physics opportunities at RHIC and
an Electron-Ion Collider facility.
