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

Office of Research staff compiled a list of sponsored projects with key words including sustainability, sustainable, environment, environmental, ecology, ecological, conservation, natural resources. The list of titles of these projects were reviewed by the NAU Academic Sustainability Programs Steering Committee and sustainability focused research was determined. The investigators for these projects were then added to the list.
