Criteria
Institution's academic departments include faculty members who conduct sustainability research.
Any level of sustainability research by a faculty member in a department is sufficient for this credit.
Applicability
This credit applies to all institutions where research is considered during faculty tenure and promotion decisions.
Scoring
Institutions earn the maximum of 6 points available for this credit when 75 or more percent of departments are engaged in sustainability research. Incremental points are available based on the percentage of departments that conduct sustainability research. For example, if 25 percent of departments conducted sustainability research, an institution would earn 2 points (one third of the points available for this credit).
Measurement
Timeframe
Report the most recent data available.
Institutions may choose to report research activities from one, two, or three academic years, as long as both the total number of research faculty and the number of faculty engaged in sustainability research are measured during the same time.
Sampling and Data Standards
Refer to the guidelines for measuring sustainability research that are provided for ER Credit 15: Sustainability Research Identification.
