The Survey and Qualitative Methods Core (SQMC) is a shared resource that helps investigators design, strengthen, and execute high-quality research using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods.

Expert support

We provide expert support across the full research lifecycle—from study design and protocol refinement to instrument development, data collection, analysis, and dissemination.

Our team partners with investigators to ensure research is methodologically rigorous, efficient, and positioned for impact.

High-quality scientific expertise and collaboration

Based in the McGraw/Patterson Center for Population Sciences at Dana-Farber and serving as a shared resource of the Harvard Cancer Consortium (HCC), SQMC expands access to high-quality scientific expertise for HCC members and the broader research community.

We support collaboration across institutions, disease areas, and research programs, helping researchers generate stronger evidence and accelerate meaningful advances in population and clinical science.
