Research Inventory
Inventory of the institution’s sustainability research:

A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
Research at Humber is primarily done through the Applied Research and Innovation (ARI) department, or the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) department, or through individual faculties.
Faculty members who conduct research through ARI are asked to self-report if their project goals aligns with any of Humber College’s institutional research goals, one of which is sustainability. We extracted that information and also went through descriptions of other projects to determine if any were sustainability related.
For CTL projects, CTL staff went through our projects in 2016-2019 and identified the ones that they felt met the criteria for sustainability based on the project’s description.
For research conducted within the faculty, Associate Deans of each faculty were asked to determine any faculty members conducting research and sustainability research to ensure all relevant researchers were represented in this credit.
Projects from all three sources are included in the attached inventory. Faculty members who do research with any combination of CTL, ARI, an individual faculty were only counted once in the number of faculty members who conduct research.
