About Small TLEF Innovation projects
Small TLEF Innovation grants are intended to support experimentation with pedagogical approaches that have strong potential to enhance learning through grassroots projects. Small TLEF Innovation 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 Plan and be aligned with one or more of the TLEF Fund priorities for 2024/25.
