This project lays the groundwork for an ongoing annual conference in methodology for qualitative and multi-method research. A collaborative effort led by a diverse team of political scientists that aims to expand the community of scholars who develop and publish on methods for generating and analyzing qualitative research data, and for combining such techniques with their quantitative counterparts. The project promotes the progress of science by encouraging and empowering researchers from under-represented groups to bring their perspectives to methodological debates and to develop their methodological ideas. The work of these qualitative researchers will enlarge the set of available tools for creating and working with qualitative data, will strengthen the discipline's methodological foundations, and will encourage advancements of the qualitative field. More broadly, the diversification of the community of methods faculty can have important downstream effects as those faculty serve as role models, inspiring the students who work with them to become the next generations of methodological innovators. This award funds three inaugural Emerging Methodologists Workshop for Qualitative and Multi-Method Explanatory Research (EMW-QMER) will be held in Fall 2023, 2024, and 2025. At each workshop, six advanced graduate students and junior faculty from under-represented groups will present and receive feedback on a paper they have written on methods for collecting, generating, or analyzing qualitative data, and/or strategies for integrating qualitative and quantitative methods. The workshops will be attended by political scientists interested in developing, publishing on, and teaching qualitative and multi-method research. Project personnel and a broad team of senior scholars recruited to serve as mentors for each presenter will offer intensive support, introducing presenters into networks and working to build an inclusive community. The initiative will bring new voices, perspectives, and ideas to the development of methods for generating and analyzing qualitative data, and for integrating qualitative and quantitative techniques. As more scholars from under-represented groups innovate methodologically and publish their work, their contributions will broaden, diversify, and thus enrich the research community focused on developing such approaches. Ultimately a multiplier effect is anticipated through which undergraduate and graduate students from under-represented groups are increasingly motivated to develop their own ideas about research methods because they see faculty to whom they can closely relate writing on, teaching, and leading organizations dedicated to such methods.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.

该项目为正在举行的定性和多方法研究方法论年度会议奠定了基础。由不同的政治学家团队领导的一项合作努力，旨在扩大学者社区，他们开发和发表关于生成和分析定性研究数据的方法，并将这些技术与其定量同行相结合。该项目鼓励和增强来自代表性不足群体的研究人员将他们的观点带到方法论辩论中并发展他们的方法论思想，从而促进科学的进步。这些定性研究人员的工作将扩大创建和使用定性数据的可用工具集，将加强该学科的方法论基础，并将鼓励定性领域的进步。更广泛地说，教师群体的多样化可能会产生重要的下游影响，因为这些教师充当了榜样，激励与他们一起工作的学生成为下一代方法创新者。该奖项资助了三个首届新兴方法学家定性和多方法解释性研究研讨会(EMW-QMER)，研讨会将于2023年、2024年和2025年秋季举行。在每个研讨会上，来自代表性不足群体的六名高级研究生和初级教师将就他们撰写的一篇关于收集、生成或分析定性数据的方法，和/或整合定性和定量方法的策略的论文提出反馈意见。这些研讨会将由对发展、发表和教授定性和多方法研究感兴趣的政治学家参加。项目人员和广泛的资深学者团队将为每一位演讲者提供指导，将演讲者介绍到网络中，并努力建立一个包容性社区。该倡议将为开发产生和分析定性数据以及整合定性和定量技术的方法带来新的声音、视角和想法。随着更多来自代表性不足群体的学者在方法上创新并发表他们的工作，他们的贡献将扩大、多样化，从而丰富专注于开发这种方法的研究界。最终，预计会产生倍增效应，通过这种效应，来自代表性不足群体的本科生和研究生越来越有动力发展自己的研究方法想法，因为他们看到可以与他们密切相关的教师撰写文章，教学和领导组织致力于这种方法。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。
