A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
We chose to include only faculty for whom research is considered in promotion and/or tenure decisions. All faculty were sent a research survey in January 2017. Respondents were asked to self-identify if they conduct sustainability research, based on definitions provided in the survey. Definitions and prompts were based on the STARS Technical Manual. Additional faculty and staff engaged in sustainability research were identified based on the following sources: a) self-identification via past surveys b) Sustainability Research Initiative grant awardees list c) Bannan Institute Faculty Collaborative around Sustainability participants list
