This data is not conclusive of all the sustainability research at FIU. This data only represents one year of awarded research funds FY 2012-13. Centers were not included in the data. Research included was listed in the monthly research award newsletter from the FIU Division of Research. Any projects not listed through that department, or where faculty did not self-report was left out of the data collected for the purpose of this report. The Office of University Sustainability created a form "Sustainability Research Identification Form" that is available for self-reporting throughout the year on the gogreen.fiu.edu website "Academic" page.
