This project provides support for the Institute for Qualitative Research Methods(IQRM), an annual training program that provides intensive instruction in state-of-the-artmethods and technologies for qualitative research. This program, sponsored by the Consortium on Qualitative Research Methods at Arizona State University, addresses the growing interest in and debates about qualitative research methods, and provides an invaluable opportunity for discussion and collaboration among the nation's leading qualitative researchers in political science and cognate disciplines.Since 2002, IQRM has successfully filled a critical pedagogical and intellectual need. Although much political science research uses qualitative methods, these methods are not consistently taught at an advanced level even in top graduate programs. IQRM thus addresses several complementary goals. First, the annual two-week sessions train graduate students and junior faculty in qualitative methods so that they can improve the use of these methods in their own work, as well as teach graduate courses on qualitative methods at their home institutions. Second, IQRM allows faculty to present recent and ongoing work on qualitative methods and get feedback from other faculty as well as participating students. Third, the classes and discussions provide direct feedback to institute students on their current research designs (in most cases, the research design of their Ph.D. thesis). Broader Impacts: IQRM offers networking opportunities among and between students and faculty and encourages collaborative efforts to disseminate innovations inqualitative methods. To date, IQRM has taught advanced qualitative methods to nearly 200 graduate students and junior faculty drawn from across the political science subfields, as well as from several cognate disciplines. This is a diverse group. In 2004, 25% of the attendees were non-White. In the same year, 54% were women-a remarkable participation rate when compared with women's involvement in methodological programs in other venues. (For example, the American PoliticalScience Association reported on 7 April 2004 that only 19% of members of the PoliticalMethodology organized section were women.) The sessions scheduled for January 2006, 2007, and 2008, will continue to draw on a diverse pool of participants and are each expected to bring together approximately 70 graduate students and junior faculty and 15 instructors.

该项目为定性研究方法研究所（IQRM）提供支持，该研究所是一个年度培训计划，为定性研究提供最先进的方法和技术的强化指导。这个项目由亚利桑那州立大学的定性研究方法联盟赞助，解决了人们对定性研究方法日益增长的兴趣和争论，并为全国领先的政治学和同源学科的定性研究人员提供了一个宝贵的讨论和合作机会。虽然许多政治学研究使用定性方法，但即使在顶级研究生课程中，这些方法也没有持续地教授到高级水平。因此，综合质量管理涉及几个相辅相成的目标。首先，每年为期两周的会议培训研究生和初级教师的定性方法，使他们能够提高这些方法在自己的工作中的使用，以及教研究生课程的定性方法在他们的家乡机构。其次，IQRM允许教师介绍最近和正在进行的定性方法的工作，并从其他教师以及参与学生的反馈。第三，课堂和讨论为研究所学生提供了关于他们当前研究设计的直接反馈（在大多数情况下，他们的博士研究设计）。thesis）。更广泛的影响： IQRM提供学生和教师之间的网络机会，并鼓励合作努力，传播创新的定性方法。到目前为止，IQRM已经教授了先进的定性方法，近200名研究生和初级教师来自政治学子领域，以及从几个同源学科。这是一个多元化的群体。2004年，25%的与会者是非白人。同年，54%是妇女-与妇女参与其他场所的方法方案相比，这是一个显著的参与率。(For例如，美国政治科学协会2004年4月7日报告说，在政治方法学组织的部门中，只有19%的成员是妇女。定于2006年、2007年和2008年1月举行的会议将继续吸引不同的与会者，预计每届会议将汇集大约70名研究生和初级教员以及15名教员。
