NIH eRA Commons – Transition to Two-Factor Authentication Required – Act Now
Posted April 13, 2022
Disciplines(s): All
To make eRA user accounts more secure with two-factor authentication, all PIs and key personnel associated with an application or Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) will be required to transition to the use of two-factor authentication 45 days after the submission of their competing grant application (Type 1 or 2) or their RPPR.
After 45 days of this triggering event, these users will not be able to access eRA modules until they set up and use a two-factor authentication service provider - Login.gov and/or an InCommon Federated account (that supports NIH’s two-factor authentication standards).
