Assessment of Requests
All research seed funding and member funding requests will be assessed on:
- Inter- and/or cross-disciplinarity
- Request includes team members and demonstrated contributions from multiple departments and/or faculties
- Request includes explicit statement of how proposed project crosses disciplinary boundaries
- New teams and/or new directions
- Proposal describes either ways in which the team constitutes a new partnership or takes an existing partnership in a new direction
- Commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, minimally within the team and, if relevant, as an outcome of the project
- The clarity and feasibility of the following request components:
- Project rationale and timeline
- Outcomes (such as events held, communications/publications, reports, policy briefs)
- Budget
- Roles of team members
- Whether the request provides a clear plan and timeline for leveraging LangSci funds for external funding
Eligible Requestors
Principal requestors must be faculty at UBCV and UBCO. However, LangSci highly encourages the involvement of trainees and colleagues at UBC and other institutions.
Ineligible Expenses
At this time, Language Sciences cannot provide funding to support development of course materials. If you are interested in matching funds for something like Teaching and Learning Enhancement Funds, please reach out to Ella Fund-Reznicek (ella.fr@ubc.ca).
Submission package
Teams requesting research seed funds or member project funding can email a completed request form (Word or PDF) to language.sciences@ubc.ca. If seeking a transfer of funds to a new worktag, please also include a fully signed Research Project Information Form.
