Create An Account

To create a RADx Data Hub account, you will first need a Researcher Auth Service (RAS) Identity Provider (IdP) account, specifically an NIH Login or eRA Commons account. Once you have an account with either IdP, you can register with the RADx Data Hub following the steps below:

  1. To register, click “Login” in the top right corner on any RADx Data Hub page. The system will display a modal with a Login/Sign Up using RAS button (Figure 1).

  2. Press “Login/Sign-Up Using RAS,” and you will be directed to the RAS Sign-In page (Figure 2).

  3. Enter your eRA or NIH Login credentials, and the system will redirect you to the RADx Data Hub User Registration page. (Figure 3).

  4. Fill in the required fields. The system automatically displays First Name, Last Name, Middle Initial (M.I.), and Email based on your RAS information. If these are incorrect, please contact RAS.
  5. Click the Institution dropdown and add an institution. If you cannot find your institution, press “Click here to add an institution” under the dropdown. Fill out the required fields (Figure 4) and press “Add Institution.” After that, the institution should appear in the Institution dropdown.

  7. Press “Submit” to finish registering. The system will automatically log you in, redirect you to the Home page, and send an email confirming the registration.
Note: RADx Data Hub leverages dbGaP to manage study access. When registering for the RADx Data Hub, register using the same RAS credentials used for dbGaP (or a linked account). Failure to do this will make it impossible for the system to show your authorized studies available in “My Approved Data.”
Login to the RADx Data Hub
  1. Click “Login” in the top right corner on any RADx Data Hub page. The system will display an additional modal with a login/sign up option (Figure 1).

  3. Select the NIH Login or eRA option and enter login credentials. The system will redirect you to the home page after correctly entering your credentials.
Note: If you have a login.gov account linked to an NIH Login or eRA account used for dbGaP, you may use that to login.
