Groups

Affiliated Groups Network

ASSAP fosters close collaborations with numerous anomaly and paranormal research organisations, including a nationwide network of Affiliated Groups.

Note: Our groups and membership structure is currently under review.

What Does Affiliation Mean?

Affiliation signifies ASSAP's confidence in a group's adherence to rigorous ethical standards, investigative protocols, and scientific principles. To qualify, groups must have at least one Approved ASSAP Investigator (AAI)—listed on the National Register of Approved Investigators—serving in a leadership role. (See our Training Programs for details.)

• Guide to Good Practice – A comprehensive resource for establishing and managing successful research groups.
