The Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) represents a sample of the most luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs, L(IR)>1e11 L(Sun)) in the local Universe. LIRGs show enhanced starburst and AGN activity, typically related to interacting galaxies and merger events. We report on a new deep Green Bank Telescope (GBT) HI survey of all of the GOALS galaxies above a declination of -35 degrees (167 LIRGs in total). The observations were carried out in 2010 and were recently just completed. We discuss the preliminary analyses of the HI masses and the ratios of HI to stellar mass as a function of infrared luminosity and merger stage. This research was carried out at National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) Green Bank facility as part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research for Undergraduates (REU) program. The NRAO is a facility of the NSF operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.
