Affiliated Projects and Qualiti

The ESRC National Centre for Research Methods welcomes affiliated projects. These are social science research projects with a strong methodological orientation, funded separately from NCRM but where affiliation to NCRM could bring mutual benefit. The affiliated project network enhances the NCRM’s methodological coverage, and provides opportunities for a range of collaborations.

Projects affiliated to Qualiti share a focus on qualitative inquiry and methodologies, and are invited to contribute to / participate in events and activities. The benefits of affiliate project membership include;

• Opportunities to join an interdisciplinary network of social science researchers working with broadly similar methodological areas.
• Opportunities to explore and develop the methodological component in otherwise substantive projects, with pay offs for both current and future research.
• Opportunities for cooperation in developing training materials, running workshops, developing methodological resources or setting up visiting fellowships.
• Opportunities for cooperation of methods-related outputs arising from substantive projects, including via the Qualiti and NCRM programme of training and websites.
