The 2023/24 Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) Fund is now open. Get up to $25,000 to support community-university partnerships that benefit communities across the province and advance collaborative research, teaching and learning.
The fund is open to BC-based community partners and UBC students, faculty, and staff. Interested applicants are invited to submit a Notice of Intent by September 22, 2023.
Paid directly to community partners, CUES funding removes financial barriers and prioritizes reciprocal, inclusive engagement so all communities — especially those that have been and continue to be underserved, marginalized or excluded — can benefit. This year, a total of $675,000 is available to fund up to 27 community-university projects.
The CUES fund is jointly administered by UBC Community Engagement and the Office of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation.
