NCI Remote Access Server

Attention –  All users of NCI's Remote Access Server are required to take the “Securing Remote Computers” portion of the Security Awareness Training available at http://irtsectraining.nih.gov . You must also electronically sign the User Certification Agreement that can be accessed at the end of the training. These requirements will be strictly enforced. Please note that you must have a NED ID in order to take this training. If you do not have a NED ID, contact your supervisor, project officer, or administrative officer to obtain one.

The NCI Remote Access Server provides access to your home (H:) and group (L:) drives, email, and various applications from remote locations, such as while on travel or working from home. First time users may be prompted to download and install plug-in software. Contact the NIH Help Desk (301-496-4357) if you require assistance or encounter problems.

The speed of your internet connection (dialup, high speed internet) will affect how well these resources work for you.

We make ongoing changes to this page to improve the remote access for the NCI community and we would appreciate any suggestions and / or feedback that you could provide us. Please email us at nciremoteaccess@mail.nih.gov.
