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

The MSU Office of Research and Economic Development queried for research with "Sustainability" in it's description or listed as a keyword. In the future, researchers will be required to indicate whether or not their research is considered "sustainability" research to ensure a more accurate research inventory. This inventory also includes non-academic departments that conduct research or have a faculty or staff member who is conducting research. These departments are not included in Part 2 of this reporting field, but are listed in the attached research inventory.
