Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The numbers above reflect the number of PI's on research proposals submitted through the Sponsored Research department. Not all faculty members conducting research and scholarship submit their work to the Sponsored Research department. Therefore the actual number of faculty members conducting research in general, and sustainability related research more specifically, is likely significantly higher. RIT will work to develop a more comprehensive inventory of sustainability related research over the next few years.
