My NCBI now allows users to sign in via a partner organization's account. My NCBI users may use the same username and password of their account from a partner organization to navigate securely between that site and My NCBI. Partner organizations (as of now) include the following research organizations and commercial Web sites: eRA Commons (extramural principal investigators, grantees or applicants), NIH (employees, intramural scientists, and Manuscript Submission System), and UKPMC (Funders Group grantees). More to be added, including Google.
On the My NCBI sign in page, click on "See more sign in options for My NCBI partner organizations."
To sign in to My NCBI with a partner organization's account you must first link the accounts. To do this select the organization you are affiliated with. You will be linked to the partner organization's login page where you should sign in. Then, link to your existing My NCBI account or create a new My NCBI account to link your organization account to.
Once the accounts are linked, you will be able to sign in to My NCBI using your partner organization's account information and access both accounts at the same time. In My NCBI, your linked accounts will be listed under "Common Preferences." To un-link an account, click on "Linked Accounts" under Common Preferences and click the "x" icon next to the account you wish to remove.
