Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
A new reporting method was instituted during the 2022 reporting period. A Dean of Research was tasked with completing this credit and had a more direct connection to reporting on research. All faculty members were asked to fill in the spreadsheet (linked to the credit) with the research they are conducting for the AY 2021-22. Before this new reporting process, the total number of researchers was determined through the Sponsored Programs Office (SPO) and we believe that COVID-19 has impacted the discrepancy of researchers. The new total number of reporters (33) is accurate and has been confirmed with the Dean of Research.
