National Science Foundation (NSF) Registration and Requesting an NSF ID

National Science Foundation Registration and Requesting an NSF ID.

Don't have an NSF ID yet?

  1. For a new PI, Co-PI, or a DGA not already having an NSF ID wanting to be setup with the "PI" role or the "Other Authorized User (OAU)" role for DGAs:

     
    1. The User needs to go to research.gov and register: https://www.research.gov/accountmgmt/#/registration



      This is a generic registration process which will then result in the User being issued an NSF ID.

       
    2. Once the User is registered and has an NSF ID, the User must then log into Research.gov and go to "My profile," then to "My roles," then "Add a new role," then "Add & manage organizations (adds the University of Oregon by entering Unique Identification Number (UEI): Z3FGN9MF92U2," then select the appropriate role of PI or Other Authorized User (OAU). If these roles are not available, the User may select "View Only" as a role and click the "Submit" button. An auto-generated e-mail will then be sent to the Sponsored Projects Services inbox and the appropriate role will be confirmed and assigned by a Sponsored Projects Services authorized representative.

Already have an NSF ID, but not yet affiliated with the University of Oregon?

  1. If the User already has an NSF ID, the User should log into research.gov and go to "My profile," and complete the role request steps as outlined in (b) above.

     
    1. As noted above in (b), a User may elect to select the role of "View Only" if the selection "Other Authorized User" or "PI" is not available for the Use to request.

       
    2. Once the User selects a role and clicks the Save button, an auto-generated e-mail will then be sent to the Sponsored Projects Services inbox and the appropriate role will be confirmed and assigned by a Sponsored Projects Services authorized representative.

If you have questions about the processes noted above, please contact Sponsored Projects Services by e-mail at sponsoredprojects@uoregon.edu or phone 541-346-5131.
