Inventory of the institution’s sustainability research:

There are about 4000 employees engaged in sustainability research in CU. About 495 employees were determined

A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:

For this report, CU tried out a new methodology because this is the first trial the Office of Sustainability
Initiatives does not have a faculty member on staff to develop and analyze a faculty/staff survey and conduct
necessary follow-up inquiries to faculty/staff about their courses and research. Also, when CU utilized the selfreporting survey methodology, approximately only 10 % of faculty responded. This time, we wanted to compare methodologies for comprehensive identification of sustainability courses and research.

Our methodology for this report included three methods as follow:

Using CU scolar website to search for f AASHE's recommended keywords s such as sustainability, earth, environment, biodiversity, conservation, but we can not find anything as this website searched only by faculty name.
Using www.PUbmed,com website to search for f AASHE's recommended keywords s such as sustainability, earth, environment, biodiversity, conservation and we find a huge data as shon in the file.
Using thee websites o the departments as showed.
