The way most method users log in to the RDCRN website is changing. Rather than using local credentials with the DMCC, users are now strongly encouraged to use their credentials from their home institution or the NIH to authenticate to the DMCC. Not only will this greatly simplify the login process for users, it also relieves the DMCC from having to hold and manage passwordshas changed in this new funding cycle. Users are now asked to use their institutional username and password, or NIH username and password, to login to the RDCRN Members Landing Page. This simplifies the login process, because users will not need to manage another password.
If a user previously had access to the previous DMCC’s infrastructureRDCRN Members Landing Page, their e-mail address and credentials have has been pre-loaded into our systemregistered at the Data Management and Coordinating Center (DMCC). These users should follow one of the following processes to log in to the new RDCRN system. New users can use the “Request Access” button and fill out an access request form.
