A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:

The Sustainability Research Inventory includes faculty that are tenure/tenure-track and for who have research obligations. The names on the list were pulled from an Academic Analytics report that captures sustainability related works (Articles, grants, etc.) from the last three years and was based on a keyword search aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Staff from the Hub then reviewed each of the names and research interests to determine their eligibility as sustainability related research as defined by STARS.
