IQRMI – Intersectional Qualitative Research Methods Institute

This grant will support three cohorts of early-career scholars from Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) across the country to attend the Intersectional Qualitative Research Methods Institute (IQRMI). The IQRMI is a week-long training program for early-career faculty launched in 2015. It aims to close methodological skill gaps and increase social capital among scholars working in four areas: 1) youth, trauma, violence, justice, and race; 2) families and communities at risk; 3) education; and 4) health. After ten successful years at the University of Maryland, the IQRMI is moving to the Kirwan Institute at The Ohio State University. The IQRMI seeks to build upon the successful experiences and outcomes of its previous cohorts (182 participants to date) by recruiting up to five early-career scholars from MSIs over the next three years.
