From transcripts to themes, we help you bear the weight of research.
Our Story
QualiBear was founded when Brooke Moreland recognized how often doctoral students become overwhelmed by the complex demands of qualitative research. Drawing on her love for supporting students, she began helping them manage everything from developing research protocols and organizing participant logistics to coding data and presenting findings. Along the way, she discovered that simplifying what often feels difficult not only reduces stress but also empowers students to move through their dissertations with clarity, confidence, and pride.

Our Purpose
We specialize in supporting doctoral students and early researchers who are navigating the complex world of qualitative research. For many PhD and graduate candidates, designing and executing qualitative methods can feel overwhelming. From developing research protocols to transcribing interviews, coding data, and presenting findings, each step demands precision, time, and methodological rigor. Our mission is to simplify this process by providing tailored, hands-on expertise that helps students stay on track, reduce stress, and deliver credible dissertations and theses.
Meeting the Challenge
One of the biggest challenges doctoral students face is completing Chapter 3: Methods and Chapter 4: Findings. These chapters often determine whether a dissertation progresses smoothly or stalls due to gaps in design, analysis, or clarity. QualiBear bridges that gap by offering structured support at these stages.
A Powerful Partner
Our services begin with individual and focus group protocol development, ensuring that interviews and group discussions align with research questions and academic expectations. We also provide logistical support—from scheduling participants to sending confirmations, managing communications, and even hosting and recording virtual sessions. Every detail is handled with professionalism so students can focus on the substance of their research.
We further support the research process with transcription services, delivering clean, accurate transcripts in PDF or DOCX formats, along with recorded audio files for reference. This saves valuable time and creates a strong foundation for coding and analysis. Our coding support includes individual coding templates, cluster coding tools, and one-on-one guidance to ensure thematic analysis is conducted systematically and defensibly. By breaking down complex data into clear themes, we help students present findings that resonate with both academic committees and wider audiences.
To keep progress consistent, QualiBear offers weekly 60-minute virtual coaching sessions. These personalized meetings provide space for clarification, problem-solving, and accountability, ensuring students never feel stuck or isolated during their research journey.
Crossing the Finish Line
The result is a faster, smoother path to dissertation completion. By partnering with QualiBear, doctoral candidates gain more than just research assistance—they gain a trusted partner committed to their academic success. Our services are designed to accelerate timelines, increase quality, and reduce stress, enabling students to defend their work with confidence.
Whether you are just beginning your qualitative research or refining your findings, QualiBear provides the structure, expertise, and support you need to succeed.
