Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Period used was FY10 - FY12 (in order to average three years of actual active research awards). We also had a prior list of 283 researchers broadly engaged in "environmental" research, but by our current definition for "sustainability research", not all of these 283 are actively doing integrative sustainability research or community-engaged scholarship. We removed all non-sustainability researchers from the list of 283 (our TEI database) and merged the resulting list with our inventory of active awards for the 3-yr period. In total, 232 faculty were doing sustainability research. Total # tenured/tenured track faculty during that same 3-yr period averaged 993. See http://www.umass.edu/oapa/publications/factsheets/employees/FS_emp_02.pdf
