Applications for retention candidates to access JELF cap are subject to approval from their appropriate dean or associate dean of research and to JELF cap availability.
Faculties requesting JELF cap for retention candidates, where the candidate has another offer (or potential offer) from another institution, the requestor needs to demonstrate strong commitment from the Faculty and Department to the candidate. For example, a 30% cash contribution from the Faculty, Department and Research Institute towards the project cash budget, demonstrates strong commitment. Please e-mail completed JELF Cap Request forms to ipo.admin@ubc.ca.
