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 used three sources: 1. The information found on the Institute for Environmental Science and Policy website for faculty and affiliated environmental faculty. These include biologists, engineers, urban planners, architects, environmental scientists, and some humanities and social sciences. 2. We also used information gained from an assets-based assessment that we conducted as part of the Sustainability Strategic Thinking process (described in the Phase 1 Report found under "Documents" http://sustainability.uic.edu/get-involved/sustainability-strategic-thinking/#Resources. This process identified work by faculty in the health sciences, liberal arts, and architecture. 3. A list of faculty interested in new UI Center for Urban Resilience and Environmental Sustainability.
