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 Information was requested to Seneca's Applied Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship department(ARI), and the Research Ethics Board (REB). The information was combined for the research projects in 2018 and 2019. The sustainable development goals were the framework utilized to clasify the research projects. Projects from the 2 sources are included in the attached inventory. Staff members who do research with any combination of ARIand REM were only counted once in the number of faculty members who conduct research.
