A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
This information was obtained was through the Faculty Spotlight tool on www.roosevelt.com, which provides profiles of all full-time RU faculty. Faculty were chosen based on their intellectual contributions in the form of journal articles, books, conference presentations, other academic writings, research sponsorship/leadership activities, and/or whether or not they had received research grants in topical areas related to sustainability. Only full-time (FT) faculty were counted in the survey. Total # of FT Faculty is from the RU Common Data Set for 2013-14; total # of academic departments determined by analysis of RU website in 2015.

A brief description of notable accomplishments during the previous three years by faculty and/or staff engaged in sustainability research:
RU faculty have engaged in and published many different kinds of research related to and focused specifically on sustainability the last three years. These include dozens of books, book chapters, peer-reviewed scholarly articles, essays, book reviews, non-academic writings, and conference presentations. Key research initiatives include the launching in 2014 of the Policy Research Collaborative, which "an interdisciplinary, applied research center working in partnership with community organizations to address social issues and strengthen metropolitan Chicago communities. The PRC collaborates with organizations of all sizes through community-based research and evaluation projects geared toward developing policy and programmatic solutions. To support these research efforts, the PRC and community partners pursue grants and contracts from a variety of supporting agencies." Another recent initiative is the Roosevelt Urban Sustainability Lab, founded in 2015, which is a student-faculty research collaborative focused on developing, researching, and implementing campus- and community-based urban sustainability projects.
