A. Visit https://www.rarediseasesnetwork.org/ and choose “RDCRN Members Login” in the upper right corner of the page. Click the button on the bottom left of the RDCRN login page labeled “NIH.”
B. Enter your NIH or eRA Commons credentials.
C. If your NIH/eRA e-mail address is already registered with the DMCC and associated with a consortium, then you will see the Members Landing Page next. Please proceed to Step 2, below.
D. If your NIH/eRA e-mail address is not already registered with the DMCC and associated with a consortium, you will arrive at an Account Request form. Please choose your consortium, complete the form and press “Submit.” DMCC project managers will check with your consortium leadership and assign you to the correct permissions group. NOTE: Please allow five working days for this process. We are likely to experience high initial volume of such requests and will respond as quickly as possible.

If your e-mail address is not from an institution that provides federated authentication services and you do not have NIH-based credentials and you have an urgent short-term need to authenticate to the RDCRN system (e.g., to enter critical patient data or submit adverse events), then you can request local credentials with the DMCC:
A. Click on the “Request Access” button and complete the web form.
B. If your e-mail address is already affiliated with a consortium, the DMCC will issue you separate credentials using the Cincinnati Children’s Research Network authentication system.
C. If your e-mail address is not already registered with a consortium, the DMCC Project Manager will vet your request with the consortium. Please communicate with your consortium or site leadership to escalate requests. The DMCC is committed to rapidly responding to all requests but has to follow a careful process to ensure the security of the RDCRN systems.
NOTE: If you do not have an urgent short-term need to access the RDCRN systems, we ask that you delay requesting access and read NOTE #3 below. We are working to simplify the account management process and will roll new processes soon as they have been fully vetted and tested.
NOTE #2: The login page remembers your last several login routes that were used in a web browser and provides a single-click authentication option for returning users. As an example, see the screenshot below.

Login.gov
We now offer our users the option of signing into the RDCRN Members' Landing Page using login.gov. Login.gov is run by the General Services Administration of the US Federal Government and anyone can sign up for a free account. If your institution doesn’t federate identities with InCommon or with RDCRN directly, and unless you can come in through eRA Commons or an institution that does federate, login.gov will be the only way for you to authenticate to RDCRN. You can already go to login.gov/help/ to familiarize yourself with their signup process, and then sign up for an account. It’s free, quick and painless, and you’ll only have to do this once. Please use your institutional e-mail address (i.e., your “work email”) to sign up: if you were registered with the previous DMCC at USF under that work e-mail address, then you’ll be able to get into the members’ site without any problems through login.gov once the integration is finished. Please read our documentation on how to create an account and authenticate.
NOTE: The login page remembers your last several login routes that were used in a web browser and provides a single-click authentication option for returning users. As an example, see the screenshot below.
