The Consortium on Qualitative Research Methods (CQRM) promotes the teaching and use of qualitative research methods in the social sciences. Its activities include an annual training institute (IQMR), where leading scholars have (to date) taught advanced qualitative methods to more than eight hundred graduate students and faculty.

The institute seeks to enable students to create and critique methodologically sophisticated qualitative research designs, including case studies, tests of necessity or sufficiency, and narrative or interpretive work.

Attendees receive constructive feedback on their own qualitative research designs.

The Institute is held at the same time as a related Research Group on Qualitative and Multi-Method Analysis. While the Institute focuses on teaching research skills, the Research Group encourages the development of qualitative and multi-method research techniques.
