COGR Membership,
An important message from NSF:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear Colleagues:
The U.S. National Science Foundation issued
Dear Colleague Letter (NSF 25-011) to notify the research community about the mandatory use of multifactor authentication (MFA) for Research.gov sign-in effective on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024. All external users must first
complete a one-time MFA enrollment process that will be available starting on Oct. 27 and then use MFA to sign into Research.gov going forward.
Training Resources
Training resources including how-to guides and frequently asked questions (FAQs) will be available on the new About Signing Into Research.gov page on
Research.gov Help on Oct. 27. This new page will assist the research community to quickly enroll in MFA and learn how to sign into Research.gov with the selected MFA method.
User Role Review and Validation
NSF is also requesting that organizations review and validate that all user accounts associated with the organization are still active and roles are still valid
in NSF systems. NSF is making this request directly to the individual(s) at each organization with the Administrator role in Research.gov and providing instructions to access and update the View My Users page in Research.gov.
