The Systems Alignment Innovation Hub has launched a new online community space on Circle.So designed specifically for any Community‑Based Organizations, systems partners, and academics who are conducting, designing, or learning about health equity research and systems alignment work. This platform brings people and organizations together to learn, discuss, challenge, network, share, and strengthen their capacity through free technical assistance and research support.
Inside the community, members can explore upcoming learning sessions, revisit past recordings, and continue conversations long after each event ends. It’s also a place to share your work—reports, infographics, tools, and stories—and to connect with technical assistance providers who bridge academic rigor with lived community expertise. Many of our technical assistance partners come directly from the communities we serve, bringing grounded knowledge, relational practice, and systems alignment experience.
Circle.So offers a centralized, opt‑in space where CBOs can find resources, exchange insights, and build relationships that sustain community‑led transformation. Anyone is welcome! Just sign up at the top of this page!
On SAIH Circle.So you can expect:
Live Learning Sessions
Come join the Live Learning Sessions that cover various Research, Sustainability, Academic Partnerships, CBO partnerships, + So much more when doing Community Based Research.
Grant, Conferences, & Resources Announcements
Announcements of upcoming events, funding opportunities, call for proposals, and work your fellow peers are working on. These often get lost in the bottom of your email, and now you can have a quick place to see what has been shared in one place and see if anyone has applied before or is currently applying to a grant you are interested in! If multiple people are, we can have small workshops on those grants specifically with the TA team and we are always happy to have 1:1.
Community Building
Water cooler talks: If you got a topic you’d like to get advice on, peoples perspectives, or just wanna hear what people are working on. This is an informal space for anyone to share or come and listen. Let's talk about real-world barriers and obstacles, research wins, questions, and obstacles, what’s happening in your state! A wider network of folks and TA team will be here!
Library of Resources
All of our TA team will be adding resources they suggest based on your recommendations, questions, research topics, and engagements in their learning sessions.
Once you’re signed up, here’s a quick look at how to navigate Circle.So.
One place that brings together people, resources, recordings, and connection!
