A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):

We were not able to conduct an in depth study. We assumed that all tenure/tenure track faculty are conducting research or participating in creative expression. We did not consider lecturers since the majority of lecturers' positions do not include time allocated to research. The total faculty number is overestimated since some faculty (particularly in the Arts) are doing creative expression rather than research. Faculty that are doing sustainability research were identified based on in house knowledge and department websites. This analysis is based only on tenure/tenure-track faculty.
