UBC faculty and staff are invited to apply for the upcoming round of the Strategic Equity & Anti-Racism (StEAR) Enhancement Fund, open from January 12 to February 8, 2026.
Applicants may submit proposals for funding between $500 and $10,000 per project to support community-led initiatives that advance UBC’s equity and anti-racism priorities across UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan.
Please note: This additional application round is focused on faculty- and staff-led projects. There will not be another call for applications for student-led projects during this cycle. Students are invited to check back in fall 2026 for next funding opportunities.
