NIH has updated its implementation access practices consistent with NOT-OD-25-083. As a result, NIH does not approve accounts using free email providers for access to BioLINCC resources. Please log into your account using an institutional email address, and use that email going forward when accessing BioLINCC.
To continue to access your BioLINCC account, use one of the services listed below and associate your institutional email address with your account. Then press the appropriate button below and log in using your institutional email address to log into your BioLINCC account.
Additionally, data access research requests MUST be submitted by a requester who:
- Is a permanent employee of their institution at a level equivalent to, at a minimum, a tenure-track professor or senior researcher. This does not include lab technicians or trainees, e.g. post-docs or graduate students.
- Has oversight responsibility for others named on the data access research request who will be granted access to the data.
- Is accountable for ensuring that all aspects of data usage align with the terms of the Research Materials Distribution Agreement (RMDA) and institutional policy.
- Resides in the same country as their institution.
NIH's Researcher Auth Service (RAS), a consolidated login service for all users.
The NIH RAS login service supports access to BioLINCC via Login.gov (U.S. based users only) or ID.me (international and U.S. based users). Login.gov and ID.me will allow you register for a new account if you do not already have one. As required per NIH security standards, you must complete the identity verification requirements as prompted by the login service. For more information on identity verification via Login.gov, please see https://www.login.gov/help/verify-your-identity/overview/. For more information on identity verification via ID.me, please see https://help.id.me. If you have any questions or concerns about accessing BioLINCC, please contact us.
Registration will allow you to submit requests for biospecimens and/or data from Open BioLINCC Studies, or to begin the application process for transferring a new NHLBI-funded study biospecimen collection to BioLINCC. Once registered, you will be able to access your request or incoming study application at any time to check its status, add comments, or upload attachments.
Please log out of the system if you expect to be inactive for 60 or more minutes.
