A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory (including the types of faculty and staff included as researchers):
The research inventory from the previous STARS report was reviewed and continued engagement in sustainability research (as defined in the STARS Technical Manual) was confirmed with the faculty. In addition, Provost Reports (which include scholarly and creative activity of faculty), the Summer Undergraduate Research Experiences
(SURE) programs and the Spring Undergraduate Research Forum (SURF) programs were reviewed for research activity that fits the definition of sustainability research. Any additions were confirmed with the faculty member.
Tenure, Tenure Track and Continuing Track faculty were included as researchers.
The website provided includes additional researchers who were not active during the timeframe for the credit or are not expected to engage in research.
