A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
Research on campus is divided into two primary categories--research funded through the Office of Grants and Contracts, and research funded through other means. The Office of Grants and Contracts provided spreadsheets of their information. In an effort to get better information on faculty research, we developed a short survey that was sent to all faculty. A copy of that survey is attached below. The survey link was sent to all campus Deans and Department Chairs. They, in turn, sent the link to their faculty and asked them to respond to the survey. Out of all the faculty receiving this request, 158 responded to the survey. Out of the 158, 51 faculty engaged in sustainability-related research as defined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The faculty in this survey were then fact-checked against those names listed in the spreadsheets from Contracts and Grants. If there was a duplicate faculty member's name, it was deleted from the counts. Another source of research is the intramural projects. This is work performed by a faculty member who has a paid student involved in the research. Those faculty not previously identified as performing sustainability research were included in the inventory. The final source of our information came from the "Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity (RSCA) Incentive" grant. Any new faculty doing sustainability research were added to the inventory, with care take to avoid duplications. To the best of our knowledge, these sources comprise all of the research currently being performed on campus.
