WELCOME

Congratulations on receiving a grant award for a Title VI, and/or Fulbright-Hays project. The U.S. Department of Education (US/ED)

requires grant recipients to administer their projects efficiently and to submit annual and final performance reports about project

objectives, impacts, and outcomes.

The International Resource Information System (IRIS) online information system provides access to screens that allow grantees to

conduct the day-to-day administrative tasks related to the funded project as well as submit the required performance reports.

Click on a tab on the Home page to be directed to the relevant screens and instructions for initiating and completing administrative or

reporting tasks.

Please be advised that although various project staff may participate in the administration and reporting activities associated with the

project, the “Project Director” named on the grant award documents is the only person that the US/ED authorizes to submit the annual

and final performance reports on behalf of the grantee.

The IFLE program officers are available to assist you with project-related questions. If you have system-related questions, please

contact IRIS Help Desk at the Contact Us link.

This is a United States Department of Education computer system, which may be accessed and used only

for official Government business by authorized personnel. Unauthorized access or use of this computer

system may subject violators to criminal, civil, and/or administrative action.

Fellow Administration

Prior to releasing any grant monies to a fellow, you must submit a Grant Activation Request (GAR) to IRIS

and receive approval. The GAR must be submitted to IRIS at least 30 days prior to the fellow's departure.

Your program officer has created the fellows listed below.

Check the "Notify" box and click the "Notify Fellows" button to send the fellow an email notification that an IRIS account has

been established. Fellows must have their spam filters set to allow email from irismail@cds2helpdesk.com.

The fellow must complete the pre-fellowship report and submit it before the Grant Activation Request

can be entered.

The IRIS system will notify you by email when the fellow submits the pre-fellowship report.

After the fellow submits the pre-fellowship report, click the "Create" link in the GAR column to initiate a request.

Click the "Update" link in the GAR column to update an existing request.

After entering a GAR, click the "Submit to IRIS" button at the bottom of the page to submit it to IRIS.

The IRIS system will notify your program officer by email when the GAR is submitted.

Once the GAR is approved or disapproved, the IRIS system will send you an email with additional information from your

program officer.

Once the GAR has been approved by IRIS, it can be updated and resubmitted to IRIS for your program officer to reapprove.

To view or edit a fellow's record, click "Update."

To view a fellow's report, click the "View" link under "Fellow Report."

Hiatus Request

Generally, fellows may not leave their research sites for the duration of the research period. In rare situations, it is possible to put a

fellow's grant into hiatus. This would enable the fellow to leave the research site for a limited period of time, during which grant funds

would be suspended. The fellow could then resume research in the host country afterward, and grant funds would again be available to

the fellow. Decisions to put a grant into hiatus will be made on a case-by-case basis, and must be approved by the grantee's institution

and US/ED. Any additional costs resulting from the changes to the itinerary are the responsibility of the fellow. A hiatus is usually only

approved in cases of family or medical emergencies. Requests for a hiatus in other circumstances are discouraged. Unless the

approved research project has been completed, a fellow's departure from the research site without specific written approval by US/ED

program staff may result in repayment of fellowship funds.
