A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
In order to identify the most current and active sustainability research happening across the university we requested a list of all funding proposals submitted to the Cal Poly Office of Research and Economic Development over the 2019-20 and 2020-21 fiscal years. From this list we identified any research projects that address a "major sustainability challenge" as defined by AASHE and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's).
