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 term “Sustainability” refers to a set of practices leading to long-term maintenance of biological, social and/or political systems. The definition in the 2012 ESF Middle States assessment (self-study) document was “a commitment to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” At ESF, at least eight categories of externally-funded research can be regarded as “Sustainability Research.” These were utilized in identification of Sustainability Research in the Middle States Self-Study Goal 2: Research: Grow the College Research Enterprise to Foster Sustainable Societies.
