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

Ohio State chose to only report on tenure-track and research faculty in research. Using internal human resources snapshots of employees, all tenured/tenure track and research faculty were identified to give a total number of faculty doing research. The Agricultural Technology Institute, OARDC and Extension faculty were not included. All faculty from departments where sustainability is a major theme of research for the department were included. We used search terms to identify faculty who conduct research in sustainability using software called Academic Analytics. Additionally we used search terms to identify faculty who taught courses in sustainability as our faculty’s research and teaching areas are highly correlated. .

This identified the total number of faculty engaged in sustainability research as well as the total number of departments that conduct sustainability research.
