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.

定性和多方法研究所是每年夏天在锡拉丘兹大学举行的为期两周的会议。该研究所促进社会科学定性研究方法的教学和应用。该研究所现在牢固地确立了作为强化教学、进行培训和准备教授定性和多方法研究的首要场所。该研究所为一大群不同的与会者提供高水平、精心设计的指导，这些与会者来自广泛的国家，而且越来越多的是国际选民。到2020年6月，该研究所将有超过2650名研究生和初级教职员工接受先进定性方法的指导。该研究所与一个联合研究小组同时举行，这是一个为期两天的作者研讨会，在每个研究所的两周期间至少举行一次会议。研究组鼓励和授权学者在方法论领域发表文章，从而直接加强和扩大已发表的定性和多方法研究的核心经典。鉴于使用多种分析技术可以提供推论杠杆作用，研究所的教员和参与者及其教学方法都非常关注定性方法如何支持和补充替代分析方法。此外，研究所还介绍和讨论了编写、传播和/或使用定性方法的书籍和文章的早期版本。即将在研究所进行的“道路测试”工作为作者提供了一个无与伦比的机会，可以从具有不同认知承诺和实质性兴趣的观众那里获得宝贵的反馈和批评。该研究所的交流还导致了教职员工和参与者之间的合作写作项目，并促进了两个群体的新的方法论研究。总而言之，该研究所改进了社会科学的方法论培训，促进了更严格和更有用的研究的产生。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
