Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The numbers provided for this credit were taken from the 2017-2018 FAR public reports and from Visiting Scholar research. The total # of faculty (overall and then for Sustainability-related research) was taken from the totals line at the bottom of the report. Visiting Scholars conducting research at Calvin College were also counted in the totals for both research in general and sustainability research.
To compute the department totals, the list was sorted by departments. This number (for sustainability research) includes academic departments, along with administration, library, and the Clean Water Institute.
General research also included Academic Services, Service Learning, Nagel Institute, Center for Social Research, and the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship.
NOTE: The Faculty Advising Reports include numbers for faculty and staff, even though the report is titled with "ALL Faculty."
NOTE: The total number of departments that conduct research is NOT copied from IC-3 purposefully.
