A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
Data includes Investigators with the role of Lead PI, Co-PI, or Multip-PI (NIH) that participate in active awards where sustainability is the Research Theme. The list is updated annually by Institution Research with direct contact with departments. All tenured and tenure-track faculty are counted as researchers.
