Inviting proposals for the 2023 Continuous Learning Advancement Fund

This message was sent to executive, deans and other senior academic leaders, academic heads, directors and managers in Vancouver.

11 April, 2023

The Continuous Learning Advancement (CLAF) supports the creation, renewal and expansion of non-degree learning opportunities at UBC Vancouver. Initially launched in 2019 as the Online Learning Advancement Fund (OLAF), CLAF’s renewed focus is on growing UBC Vancouver’s capacity to serve continuous learners in British Columbia, as set out in the university’s strategic plans.

The CLAF fund accepts proposals for non-credit offerings, with preference given to proposals for fully online micro-credential non-credit programs serving continuous learners seeking to change (reskill) or advance (upskill) their careers in high-demand sectors.

$400,000 is available in funding for the 2023/24 CLAF cycle. 

Key dates:

  • Letter of Intent submissions due May 10
  • Full project proposals due July 27
  • Funding will be released to successful proposals by the end of October
