Description of the methodology used to complete the research inventory:

The Office of Sustainability used the SDG keyword screening methodology described in credit AC 1.2 to conduct an initial review of all faculty’s research interest statements published on their faculty webpage. The tool allowed us to readily identify faculty who are working across multiple SDGs and conducting sustainability related research. For each faculty identified, a manual read was conducted to ensure their research fit the criteria for inclusion. For those departments not tagged by the tool, an additional manual read was conducted of faculty in those departments to ensure the tool didn’t miss any faculty that should have been included.
