Abstract
The RHIC Cold QCD program has produced a remarkable breadth of physics results and experimental techniques in the exploration of the fundamental structure of strongly interacting matter over the years. In this document, we present highlights of longitudinal and transverse spin physics to date and the 25 years of innovation in accelerator science from the RHIC Spin program. These measurements and techniques will be essential to fully realize the scientific missions of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) by providing a comprehensive set of measurements in hadronic collisions and laying the foundation for the design of the future EIC.
