We study single-spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering with transversely polarized target. Based on the QCD factorization approach, we consider Sivers and Collins contributions to the asymmetries. We fit simple parametrizations for the Sivers and Collins functions to the recent HERMES data, and compare to results from COMPASS. Using the fitted parametrizations for the Sivers functions, we predict the single-transverse-spin asymmetries for various processes in pp collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, including the Drell-Yan process and angular correlations in dijet and jet-plus-photon production. These asymmetries are found to be sizable at forward rapidities.
