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 social science. 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. 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. By June 2020, over 2,650 graduate students and junior faculty will have received instruction on advanced qualitative methods at the Institute. The Institute takes place at the same time as an associated Research Group, a two-day authors' workshop that meets at least once during each Institute's two-week duration. The Research Group encourages and empowers scholars to publish in the field of methodology, thus directly enhancing and expanding the core canon of published research on qualitative and multi-method research. Given the inferential leverage that using multiple analytic techniques can deliver, the Institute's instructors and participants, and thus its pedagogy, are strongly concerned with how qualitative methods undergird and complement alternative analytic approaches. In addition, 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. In all, the Institute has improved methodological training in the social sciences, facilitating the production of more rigorous and useful research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

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。该研究所促进社会科学定性研究方法的教学和应用。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。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。到 2020 年 6 月，超过 2,650 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。该研究所与一个相关的研究小组同时举行，这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。研究小组鼓励并授权学者在方法论领域发表论文，从而直接增强和扩展已发表的定性研究和多方法研究的核心标准。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都非常关注定性方法如何巩固和补充替代分析方法。此外，研究所还介绍和讨论了开发、传播和/或使用定性方法的书籍和文章的早期版本。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。总而言之，该研究所改进了社会科学方面的方法论培训，促进了更严格和有用的研究的产生。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
