	RHIC operation as the polarized proton collider presents unique challenges since both luminosity and spin polarization are important. A lot of upgrades and modifications have been made since last polarized proton operation. A 9 MHz rf system has been installed to improve longitudinal match at injection and to increase luminosity. A vertical survey of RHIC was performed before the run to get better magnet alignment. The orbit control has also been improved this year. AGS polarization transfer efficiency is improved by a horizontal tune jump system. To preserve polarization on the ramp, a new working point was chosen with the vertical tune near a third order resonance. The orbit and tune control are essential for polarization preservation. To calibrate the polarization level at 250 GeV, polarized protons were accelerated up to 250GeV and decelerated back to 100GeV. The tune, orbit and chromaticity feedback is essential for this operation. The new record of luminosity was achieved with higher polarization at 250 GeV in this run. The overview of the changes and operation results are presented in this paper.

The center-of-mass energy of eRHIC will range from 30 to 200 GeV. The luminosity exceeding 10³4 cm^-2s⁻¹ can be achieved in eRHIC using the low-beta interaction region which a 10 mrad crab crossing. A natural staging scenario of step-by-step increases of the electron beam energy by builiding-up of eRHIC's SRF linacs. We report on the eRHIC design and cost estimates for it stages.
