Student sustainability research incentives
No
A brief description of the student sustainability research program:
While the institution does not provide specific incentives (e.g., fellowships, financial support, and/or mentorships) to bolster or recruit student sustainability research, HSU does provide recognition for student sustainability research in two ways:
1. During IdeaFest (an open showcase each spring for research and creative projects), all submissions have the opportunity to highlight whether their work is related to sustainability. If they select this option, they are given a magnet for their poster showing this designation and their abstract is marked with a sustainability symbol in the program. This bolsters attention for these projects and may influence participants to consider incorporating sustainability to their work for future projects.
2. The Office of Sustainability offers internships for course credit on a number of sustainability research projects under ESM 482 each semester, which serves as an opportunity for students to develop green jobs skills and take a deep dive into researching campus sustainability topics. Typically the office only mentors one or two students at a time, but may provide minor incentive for students to take on these research projects. In the past, students enrolled in this internship/mentor opportunity have conducted projects on the following topics: improving occupant conditions and efficiency by examining HVAC hot/cold calls, cold water laundering, identifying and mapping point source storm water pollution, among others.

Faculty sustainability research incentives
No
A brief description of the faculty sustainability research program:
Similar to students, the institution does not at this time provide specific incentives by way of material or financial support to bolster or recruite faculty sustainbility research. That said, HSU does provide recognition for faculty sustainability research in one way:
1. During IdeaFest (an open showcase each spring for research and creative projects), all submissions have the opportunity to highlight whether their work is related to sustainability. If they select this option, they are given a magnet for their poster showing this designation and their abstract is marked with a sustainability symbol in the program.

Recognition of interdisciplinary, transdisciplnary and multi-disciplinary research
Yes
A copy of the promotion or tenure guidelines or policies:
---
The promotion or tenure guidelines or policies:
The Department of Politics publishes a formal procedure that gives positive recognition to interdisciplinary research in their Retention, Tenure, and Promotion (RTP) Criteria & Standards. The Standards Handbook (approved Feb 2016) specifically says, "For the granting of tenure and promotion, the Department of Politics expects a candidate to provide evidence of an ongoing program that will lead to the production and dissemination of original, peer-reviewed work. We consider political science to be cross-disciplinary in nature, so we value interdisciplinary scholarship and publication in scholarly journals outside the traditional boundaries of political science as equivalent to publishing within the typical parameters of the field. We value collaborative research and co-authored publications; candidates must specify their role and the magnitude of their contribution to the final product," (page 2). The Standards may be downloaded here: http://www2.humboldt.edu/aps/faculty/RTP_Criteria.html.
The Department of Critical Race, Gender, and Sexuality Studies also pays special attention to inter- and trans-disciplinary work in their published RTP Criteria and Standards, approved May 2016. Section II. Scholarly/Creative Activities, under A. Activities to be assessed, item #1 reads: "The field of Critical Race, Gender and Sexuality Studies is inherently inter- and trans-disciplinary, and therefore our standards must be relevant for faculty from a diverse range of professional and disciplinary backgrounds. The CRGS Department recognizes interdisciplinary and intersectional research as the most original (though not necessarily the most valuable) contribution a faculty member can make to our fields of study." The full CRGS RTP Criteria and Standards document is available at: https://hraps.humboldt.edu/sites/default/files/docs/crgs_rtp_criteriastandards-approvedmay2016.pdf.
In addition, the tenured and probationary faculty members comprising the committee for the International Studies Program are interdisciplinary by nature, as mentioned in the introduction of the International Studies RTP Criteria & Standards.
Finally, Environmental Studies and the Geography department also explicitly recognize the importance of interdisciplinary work in RTP decisions. The Department of Geography RTP Criteria and Standards document, Section II, Item 1 states under the first bullet that: "Geography is cross-disciplinary in nature, so we value interdisciplinary scholarship, publication in scholarly journals outside the traditional boundaries of disciplinary fields, and creative activities that engage a broader academic community as equivalent to publishing within disciplinary parameters." (The full document can be accessed at: https://hraps.humboldt.edu/sites/default/files/docs/geog_rtp_criteriastandards-approvedapril2017.pdf.) Similarly, the Environmental Studies Program RTP Criteria and Standards document states: Environmental Studies is cross-disciplinary in nature, so we value interdisciplinary scholarship, publication in scholarly journals outside the traditional boundaries of disciplinary fields, and creative activities that engage a broader academic community as equivalent to publishing within disciplinary parameters.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Office of Sustainability is partnered with the Library to create a sustainability database in which all research and work relating to sustainability coming out of the campus may be archived in the future. While this effort is just getting underway, we hope that within the next year pathways will be developed to capture capstone final papers, faculty research, IdeaFest abstracts and posters all that relate to sustainability via a special collection organized on a library webpage. In addition, we hope to publish a special volume of the IdeaFest Journal on work specifically focused on sustainablity. The hope is that by bringing special attention to this work, more folks will be inclined to join the movement and explore sustainability with their research.
