InCommon Federation

Trusted, seamless access to global research and scholarly collaboration

InCommon/NIH Community Update:
MFA and Identity Requirements Webinar

On April 20, we hosted a briefing on the InCommon Community’s readiness to support NIH.
In Fall 2020, leaders from NIH first addressed the InCommon community about the benefits of researchers using InCommon-enabled credentials from their institutions.
So how’s it been going? We provided an update on our progress thus far and what’s next as NIH considers issuing its first identity assurance requirement.
