The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has publicized new requirements (MFA and Research & Scholarship attributes) for accessing its electronic Research Administration modules, but has also signaled coming changes to identity proofing and assurance for other applications; specifically using the REFEDS Assurance Framework (RAF v1) (https://www2.internet2.edu/e/66332/assurance/d7mhtd/501919263?h=vHWX2o4xLXELMdVH4ok6qODOR-LSvjRaaCGSHVdTkig).
As a result, the InCommon Assured Access Working Group (AAWG) has developed guidance for US higher-ed institutions on meeting the REFEDS Assurance Framework.
Join us for the May IAM Online to get a summary of the recommendations and begin working on your own campus on increasing your identity assurance, and meeting new requirements from NIH programs and services.
Past IAM Online recordings are on the IAM Online YouTube channel in cooperation with our European partner, GEANT.
