Certificate of Confidentiality (CoC) System is Temporarily Unavailable

NIH is currently undergoing a renewal of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) approval for the NIH Certificate of Confidentiality (CoC) system. NIH will not be accepting requests to the CoC system or Institutional Official verifications for non-NIH funded research during this time. There will be an update on the CoCs for Research Not Funded by NIH page by July 2025. Note that the CoCs for NIH-funded studies (i.e., deemed issued CoCs) are not affected.
