We invite faculty, students and staff at UBC Vancouver to submit proposals for Small Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) Innovation Projects. The deadline for proposals is 3pm on November 13, 2025.
About Small TLEF Innovation Projects
These grants are intended to support experimentation with pedagogical approaches that have strong potential to enhance learning through grassroots projects. Applicants can request up to $50,000 over the life of the project, which can span between one and three years. Small TLEF Innovation projects should advance UBC’s strategic priorities and align with one or more of the TLEF Fund priorities for 2026/27. More information about the application criteria can be found at https://tlef.ubc.ca/application/tlef-criteria/.
