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

MSU Scholars database was searched using key words representing sustainability. This was the same search strategy used for the academic coursework. In addition, the previous report list, climate change faculty list, and key centers that do sustainability research with their affiliate faculty were compiled. This provided a cross check and significant confidence in the data.
