Abstract
Polarized proton collisions will be studied at RHIC up to a total center of mass energy of 500 GeV, starting in 2002. An overview of the RHIC-spin program, and the critical components of the PHENIX and STAR detectors for spin experiments, is presented. The premier experiment within the RHIC-spin program is the determination of the fraction of the proton's spin carried by gluons. A detailed analysis of how accurately this fraction can be determined by the STAR experiment at RHIC is presented.
