A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability research:
Definition of Sustainability Research
The goal of sustainability research is to help create a sustainable economy, society, and environment. Eastern encourages faculty to develop sustainability research or enhance existing research for the purpose of attaining the aforementioned goal. The university will maintain and make publicly available an inventory of all faculty research that is either sustainability-focused or sustainability-related.
Sustainability-focused research concentrates on the concept of sustainability, or studies the application of sustainability concepts and strategies, or examines issues and topics in terms of their relevance to sustainability (e.g., social equity; environmental stewardship; technological advancement of sustainability). Sustainability or some aspect of sustainability is central to this research.
Sustainability-related research incorporates sustainability as a distinct component of the faculty member’s research. For this research, sustainability or some aspect of sustainability is a significant component, but not the focus of the research.
