The Institute for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research is a two-week meeting held each summer at Syracuse University. The Institute promotes the teaching and application of qualitative research methods in political science and other social science disciplines. Given the inferential leverage that using multiple analytic techniques can deliver, the Institute's instructors and participants, and thus its pedagogy, are also strongly concerned with how qualitative methods undergird and complement alternative analytic approaches. The current proposal requests NSF's support for the 14th, 15th and 16th iterations of the Institute (2015-2017) and its associated Research Group. The Research Group is a two-day authors' workshop that meets at least once during each Institute's two-week duration. The Institute is now firmly established as the premier venue for intensive instruction on, training to conduct, and preparation to teach qualitative and multi-method research. By June 2014, over 1,600 graduate students and junior faculty will have received instruction on advanced qualitative methods at the Institute. The Institute has also had a direct and beneficial influence on the development of the qualitative and multi-methods canon, especially in political science. Early versions of books and articles developing, disseminating and/or using qualitative methods have been presented and discussed at the Institute. "Road-testing" forthcoming work at the Institute gives authors an unparalleled opportunity to receive valuable feedback and criticism from an audience with diverse epistemic commitments and substantive interests. Interchange at the Institute has also resulted in collaborative writing projects among faculty and participants, and has stimulated new methodological research by both groups. One of the primary missions of the Research Group is to encourage and empower young scholars to publish in the field of methodology, thus enhancing and expanding the core canon of published research on qualitative and multi-method research. The Institute provides high-level, carefully designed instruction for a large and diverse group of attendees drawn from a wide national and, increasingly, international constituency. The Institute's contribution to improving methodological training in the social sciences has resulted in more rigorous and methodologically self-conscious research. Its deliberate outreach to scholars from developing countries has the potential to induce an especially powerful multiplier effect when those participants go on to teach what they have learned at their home institution, thereby extending the Institute's reach to multiple locations around the globe

定性和多方法研究研究所每年夏天在雪城大学举行为期两周的会议。该研究所促进政治学和其他社会科学学科中定性研究方法的教学和应用。鉴于使用多种分析技术可以提供的推理杠杆作用，研究所的教师和参与者及其教学法也非常关注定性方法如何巩固和补充替代分析方法。目前的提案请求 NSF 支持该研究所的第 14、15 和 16 次迭代（2015-2017 年）及其相关研究小组。研究小组是一个为期两天的作者研讨会，在每个研究所为期两周的时间内至少举行一次会议。该研究所现已成为定性和多方法研究强化指导、培训和准备教学的首要场所。到 2014 年 6 月，超过 1,600 名研究生和初级教师将在研究所接受高级定性方法的指导。该研究所还对定性和多方法经典的发展产生了直接和有益的影响，特别是在政治学领域。开发、传播和/或使用定性方法的书籍和文章的早期版本已在研究所提出和讨论。该研究所即将开展的“道路测试”工作为作者提供了无与伦比的机会，可以从具有不同认知承诺和实质性兴趣的受众那里获得宝贵的反馈和批评。该研究所的交流还促成了教师和参与者之间的合作写作项目，并刺激了两个小组新的方法论研究。研究小组的主要任务之一是鼓励和授权年轻学者在方法论领域发表论文，从而增强和扩展已发表的定性和多方法研究的核心标准。该学院为来自广泛的国内和越来越多的国际群体的大量不同的参与者提供高水平、精心设计的指导。该研究所对改善社会科学方法论培训的贡献导致了更加严格和方法论自觉的研究。当这些参与者继续在本国机构教授​​他们所学到的知识时，它有意向来自发展中国家的学者进行推广，有可能产生特别强大的乘数效应，从而将研究所的影响力扩展到全球多个地点
