The STAR collaboration has reported precision measurements of the transverse single spin asymmetries for the production of the {pi}{sup 0} mesons from polarized proton collisions at {radical}(s) = 200 GeV. These measurements were obtained using modular forward detectors. The Forward Meson Spectrometer (FMS), covering a region of 2.5<{eta}<4.0, and its engineering prototype, provide increased acceptance, as needed for spin-dependent correlation studies that could disentangle contributions to the forward {pi}{sup 0} asymmetries. We report on the status of the analysis.
