Grounded Theory Institute

The Grounded Theory Institute is an organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the research method known as Grounded Theory. This approach involves developing new theories directly from systematically gathering and analyzing qualitative data, such as interviews or observations, rather than starting with a pre-existing hypothesis. The Institute offers training, resources, and certification to researchers and students, helping them understand how to build theories grounded in real-world evidence. Its goal is to advance scholarly work and practical application across various fields by fostering rigorous, data-driven theory development.
