Accept a New Project
The primary reviewer sends an invitation by email asking you to join a project. You can either click on the link in that email, or open https://citap.gov/ in your web browser—both will take you to the same webpage.
Note: Users will not be able to see new projects until they verify their email.
- Select “Project Dashboard” (https://citap.gov/projects) from the top menu and scroll to "Pending Invitations."

- Click blue button labeled "Accept Project?"
- When the "Accept Project?" modal appears, enter your work email and click "Accept."

- You must verify your email to see your project. Check your email inbox for a message from noreply@citap.gov. Open the email and click “Verify Email Address.”

- Clicking the button will open the CITAP portal. If you are not logged in, you will need to sign in with your credentials.
- Once logged in, you will see the confirmation page with the message, "Your email has been successfully verified." Emails only need to be verified once, if you begin a new project, you will not need to re-verify.
- Once your email is verified, go to the “Project Dashboard” page and scroll down to “Active Projects.” Click on the project name to being working!
Troubleshooting Email Verification:
1. Check your Spam/Junk folder if you do not see the email.
2. Go to "Profile and Settings" on citap.gov. Scroll to "Notification Settings" and click “Resend Verification Email.”
