A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
Went to each college (Kogod School of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, School of International Service, School of Professional and Extended Studies, School of Public Affairs, and Washignton College of Law) to ask how many total faculty were involved in research in the 16/17 academic year.
Sent a survey to all active faculty in 2017 asking if their research was focused on or related to sustainability using the STARS definitions. This survey also included the data gathering for academic courses related to or focused on sustainability.
