A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
The research database Dimensions has a limited number of keywords connected to the SDGs, therefore we were able to query the database by year and SDG for authors affiliated to CMU. From that list, we identified faculty and staff. This inventory does not reflect all sustainability research between 2019 - 2021, but does capture many of the faculty and staff who are working within the Sustainable Development Goals.
