The 2025/26 Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) funding round is complete.
A total of $2.44 million in TLEF funding will support 66 new and returning TLEF projects (13 Large TLEF Transformation projects and 53 Small TLEF Innovation projects).
The 2025/26 funding round included a special call for Generative AI (GenAI) Collaborative Cluster Grants to support UBCV project teams interested in experimenting with GenAI in teaching and learning. 9 new Large TLEF Transformation projects were funded as part of the Special Call.
An additional $130,000 was awarded to support project teams as part of the Special Call for the Universal Design for Learning Fellows Program. These projects were nominated by UBC Vancouver Faculties to participate in the 3rd cohort of the Universal Design for Learning Fellows Program in Spring 2025.
See the full list of 2025/26 TLEF funded projects, including project summaries and details about the project teams, as well as information on projects previously funded by the TLEF (going back to 1999).
For a complete picture of the 2025/26 TLEF funding round, as well as enrolment reach from projects funded in by the TLEF in 2024/25, please review the 2025/26 TLEF Snapshot.
The TLEF supports UBC’s strategic plan Shaping UBC’s Next Century and the UBC academic mission of “cultivating academic excellence” by advancing transformative learning at the university. It is funded entirely through a portion of UBC Vancouver student tuition. Since its inception in 1991, the TLEF has supported more than 1,400 teaching and learning projects.
Congratulations to the project teams who received funding for their projects.
