Teams should exercise due diligence to determine on which campus each expense is incurred so that no fund transfers are required between the universities (e.g., UBC faculty should submit travel reimbursements to UBC rather than seek reimbursement through UCLA). Using the UBC-UCLA CRMA budget template form, teams must include a description of each proposed expense (travel, facilities, materials, facilitator, etc.) and identify which campus will pay that particular expense. a proposed start date (ideally no later than June 1, 2020).a description of how the proposed activities will advance collaborative interdisciplinary research between the two institutions.a description of team members’ roles in the planned activities, including a specific description of the valued added by non-UBC/UCLA team members, if applicable.a description of the existing strengths of each team in the proposed research areas.

a description of areas of interdisciplinary research activities to be developed or advanced.Teams also need to include a 1,000-word project proposal and a budget. The application form requests general contact information, information about the collaboration, the funding amounts requested for each campus, a project title and a 100-word summary. Each application can only be affiliated with one login identity in the application portal and teams should plan for this within their workflow.
UCLA COLLABORATORY DEADLINES PASSWORD
On the first visit to the portal, create a single username and password to affiliate with the application. Proposal Submission Process:Īll teams submit proposals through the UCLA submission portal. Within two months of the end of the one-year funding term, successful applicants are required to submit a brief report that summarizes the work completed, the outcomes of the collaboration and if the award has led (or will lead) to opportunities including leveraged funding or joint research collaborations. Funds may be used to support travel between UBC and UCLA and events/activities undertaken at UBC and/or UCLA. Direct costs of research, faculty salaries and overhead are not eligible expenses. Teams must spend the funds within one year of receiving the award decision. The maximum value for each grant is $20,000 CAD/$15,000 USD per team, with funding allocated to the campus(es) where it is spent. The total funding envelope is up to $100,000 CAD from UBC and up to $100,000 USD from UCLA. The team will submit a single application through UCLA's submission portal. Interdisciplinary research is encouraged and priority will be given to teams that involve faculty members in the social sciences, humanities, and the creative/performing arts.Īll teams must identify two lead PIs, one from UBC and one from UCLA. The competition is open to UBC faculty members from both Vancouver and the Okanagan and to all academic appointments at UCLA (including senate and non-senate faculty members, academic administrators, and lecturers). Lead principal investigators from UBC must be eligible to hold research grants. It's expected that activities could lead to leveraged funding, joint scholarly/research outputs and enhanced collaborative training.

This pilot fund will support activities to establish or enrich interdisciplinary research between faculty members at the two institutions, with preference given to collaborations based in the social sciences, humanities, and the creative/performing arts.Īctivities funded under this program could include project coordination and grant writing, joint workshops or research meetings.
