"Sign Language Studies" is introducing a new section titled "Reports on Ongoing Research." These short research briefs are intended to provide a format for researchers to report on projects for which research is ongoing but for which a timely research brief would be of interest to the "Sign Language Studies" (SLS) community. Research reports include relevant background information, including the impetus for the work, methodologies, past progress, state of ongoing work, dissemination efforts, and future plans. This report provides an overview of the progress made on three ongoing sociolinguistic documentation projects focused on American Sign Language (ASL). These projects are being carried out by three separate research teams based at the University of Pennsylvania, Gallaudet University, and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)--National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID). The structure of the report will describe each project in turn, concluding with a description of future directions for a new sociolinguistic documentation project involving an exciting collaboration of the three research teams.
