NOT-OD-25-139 NIH requires that each eRA user maintain a unique, personal passphrase and never share account credentials. This is especially important for Signing Officials (SO), who have legal authority over grants administration. NIH audits system access regularly, and unauthorized sharing of credentials is strictly prohibited. Users who do not follow these security requirements may have their access denied.
The NIH Passphrase Policy for eRA Applications specifically prohibits users from sharing passphrases, and requires each user to have a separate and unique passphrase. eRA users may not allow other unauthorized users to access resources under their credentials.
