Affinity Groups help connect researchers with communities of interest. Announcements, events, and trainings can be shared through the website and through Constant Contact email lists. Affinity Groups consolidate links to slack channels, Q&A Forums, and relevant knowledge base CI Links. Affinity groups are either associated with a particular ACCESS resource or they are more general community groups. People with allocations on ACCESS resources will automatically be connected to the appropriate Affinity Groups. A members email list for direct communication between Affinity Group members can be enabled if desired.
