Prior to releasing any grant monies to a fellow, you must submit a Grant Activation Request (GAR) to IEPS
and receive approval. The GAR must be submitted to IEPS 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 IRIS@cds2.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 IEPS" button at the bottom of the page to submit it to IEPS.
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 IEPS, it can be updated and resubmitted to IEPS for your program officer to reapprove.

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.

Time Extension
Section 74.25 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) allows a grantee to notify IEPS about the
necessity to extend the end of a grant for up to 12 months. The time extension allows you to complete an activity that you were unable
to complete before the scheduled end date of your grant. If you need a time extension, you must notify your program officer in writing at
least 10 days before the end date of the grant.
*Please provide a justification for the one-time time extension.
Comments: (limit 1,500 characters and spaces)
*Enter the amount of funds to be used during the time extension
$
*Enter the revised end date for your project. When the project end date is extended, the due date for the submission of your final
performance report will change. The final performance report will be due 90 days after the revised end date.
Example: 01/01/1900
Please note: According to EDGAR 74.25(e)(2)(ii) a time extension may not be exercised merely for the purpose of using unobligated balances.

Speaking and Listening
I can tell/ask someone how to get from here to a nearby hotel, restaurant, or post office.
I can order a simple meal.
I can arrange for a hotel room or taxi ride.
I can buy a needed item such as bus or train ticket, groceries, or clothing.
I can ask and answer simple questions about date and place of birth, nationality, marital status,
occupation, etc.
I can make social introductions and use greeting and leave-taking expressions.
I can handle conversations about familiar topics in an organized way.
I can produce speech with some organization on familiar topics that extend beyond my daily
routine.
I can describe my present or most recent job or activity in some detail.
I can give detailed information about my family, my house, and my community.
I can interview an employee, or arrange for special services (taking care of details such as
salary, qualifications, hours, specific duties).
I can give a brief autobiography including immediate plans and hopes.
I feel confident that when I talk with native speakers on topics such as those mentioned above,
they understand me most of the time.
I can take and give simple messages over the telephone, or leave a message on voice mail.
I can describe in detail a person or place that is very familiar to me.
I can report the facts of what I have seen recently on television news or read in the newspaper.
I can talk about a trip or some other everyday event that happened in the recent past or that
will happen soon.
I feel that I have a professional command, rather than just a practical one, of the language.
There are few grammatical features of the language that I try to avoid.
I rarely find myself unable to finish a sentence because of linguistic limitations (grammar or
vocabulary).
I find it easy to follow and contribute to a conversation among native speakers.
I can speak to a group of educated native speakers on a professional subject and be sure I am
communicating what I want to, without obviously irritating them linguistically.
I can, on a social occasion, defend personal opinions about social and cultural topics.

IEPS - International Resource Information System (IRIS)
I can cope with difficult situations such as broken-down plumbing, an undeserved traffic ticket,
or a serious social or diplomatic blunder made by a colleague or me.
I can use the language to speculate at length about abstract topics such as how some change
in history or the course of human events would have affected my life or civilization.
In professional discussions, my vocabulary is extensive and precise enough to enable me to
convey my exact meaning.
I am able to adjust my speech to suit my audience, whether I am talking to university
professors, close friends, employees, or others.
I can prepare and give a lecture at a professional meeting about my area of specialization and
debate complex aspects with others.
I naturally integrate appropriate cultural and historical references in my speech.
I can eloquently represent a point of view other than my own.
I can lead the direction of the discussion (friendly, controversial, collaborative).
My language proficiency is functionally equivalent to that of a highly articulate well-educated
native speaker and reflects the cultural standards of a country where the language is natively
spoken.
I can use the language with complete flexibility and intuition, so that speech on all levels is fully
accepted by well-educated native speakers in all of its features, including breadth of vocabulary
and idiom, colloquialisms, and pertinent cultural references.
My pronunciation is typically consistent with that of well-educated, highly articulate native
speakers of a standard dialect.
My vocabulary is extensive and precise, allowing me to consistently convey complex ideas and
details.
Reading
As appropriate for the language, I can recognize and identify all the letters in the printed version
of an alphabetic writing system (in languages like English, Spanish, Finnish, Russian, Greek,
Vietnamese) or the elements of a syllable-based writing system (such as in Japanese kana,
Korean hangul, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Thai, or Hindi) or some commonly occurring
characters in a character system (Chinese, Japanese kanji, Korean hanja.)
I can read some isolated words and phrases, such as numbers and commonplace names, that
I see on signs, menus, and storefronts, and in simple everyday material such as
advertisements and timetables.
I can understand the purpose and main meaning of very short, simple texts, such as in printed
personal notes, business advertisements, public announcements, maps, etc.
I can understand simple instructions, such as in very straightforward street directions.
I can understand very short simple written descriptions of some familiar persons, places, and
things, like those found in many tourist pamphlets.
I can understand texts that consist mainly of straightforward factual language, such as short
news reports of events, biographical information, descriptions, or simple technical material.
I can understand the main idea and some details of clearly organized short straightforward texts
about places, people, and events that I am familiar with.
I can understand very straightforward reports about current and past events.
I can understand simple typed correspondence in familiar contexts, including descriptions of
events, feelings, wishes and future plans.
I can usually understand the main ideas of authentic prose on topics I am familiar with, either
because they pertain to my work experience or to topics I am interested in.
I can usually read and understand all of the material in a major daily newspaper published in a

I can understand both the meaning and the intent of most uses of idioms, cultural references,
word play, sarcasm, and irony in even highly abstract and culturally “loaded” texts.

that is slow and clear. I can understand basic directions and instructions, such as how to get to
a local store. I can understand questions and answers about basic survival needs, such as
meals, lodging, transportation and time. I can understand routine questions about my job, my
immediate family and myself. I can understand simple statements about a person’s background
and occupation. If I cannot understand what a speaker tells me, I can understand the
statement after it has been repeated or rephrased slowly and clearly.
When people are speaking the standard dialect at a normal rate, I can understand their speech
when it is spoken with some repetition and rephrasing, can understand speech about everyday
topics, for example common personal and family news, well-known current events, and routine
situations at work. I can understand spoken descriptions of different places, for instance the
geography of a country or location that is familiar.I can understand uncomplicated stories about
current, past and future events. I can understand at least some details from announcements
made over a loudspeaker. I can usually understand the main idea and basic facts from a short
news report on the radio or television.
I can accurately follow all conversations among native speakers who are speaking at a normal
rate of speech. I rarely, if ever, have to ask speakers to paraphrase or explain what they have
said. I can correctly infer meanings that are not directly stated. I can understand discussions of
ideas and concepts, including proposals and speculation. I can understand someone’s opinion
and the points used to support the opinion. I can often, if not always, detect the attitudes and
feelings of a speaker. I can understand speech in a professional setting concerning my field of
expertise or some technical subjects, such as a lecture or a panel discussion.
I can understand almost all forms and styles of speech pertinent to professional needs. I can
fully understand all speech that involves the use of extensive and precise vocabulary, including
subtle distinctions between word choices. I can follow arguments with unpredictable
presentation, for example, in informal and formal speeches covering editorial and literary
material. I can understand language adjusted for different audiences and for different purposes.
I can readily and accurately infer meanings and implications. I am able to understand the main
ideas of speech in some non-standard dialects. I can fully understand spoken interactions
among native speakers at public gatherings, such as meetings, seminars, task groups or
conferences. I can fully understand a speech, oral report or briefing given to a group of native
speakers concerning any topic directed to a general audience.
My comprehension is fully equivalent to that of a well-educated native listener. I can fully
understand all forms and styles of speech. This includes slang, jokes and puns. I can
understand speech even when it is distorted by other noise. I can fully understand regional
dialects, highly colloquial and idiomatic language.

I can cope with difficult situations such as broken-down plumbing, an undeserved traffic
ticket, or a serious social or diplomatic blunder made by a colleague or me.
I can use the language to speculate at length about abstract topics such as how some
change in history or the course of human events would have affected my life or civilization.
In professional discussions, my vocabulary is extensive and precise enough to enable me to
convey my exact meaning.
I am able to adjust my speech to suit my audience, whether I am talking to university

My language proficiency is functionally equivalent to that of a highly articulate well-educated
native speaker and reflects the cultural standards of a country where the language is
natively spoken.
I can use the language with complete flexibility and intuition, so that speech on all levels is
fully accepted by well-educated native speakers in all of its features, including breadth of
vocabulary and idiom, colloquialisms, and pertinent cultural references.
My pronunciation is typically consistent with that of well-educated, highly articulate native
speakers of a standard dialect.
My vocabulary is extensive and precise, allowing me to consistently convey complex ideas
and details.
Reading
As appropriate for the language, I can recognize and identify all the letters in the printed
version of an alphabetic writing system (in languages like English, Spanish, Finnish,
Russian, Greek, Vietnamese) or the elements of a syllable-based writing system (such as in
Japanese kana, Korean hangul, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Thai, or Hindi) or some commonly
occurring characters in a character system (Chinese, Japanese kanji, Korean hanja.)
I can read some isolated words and phrases, such as numbers and commonplace names,
that I see on signs, menus, and storefronts, and in simple everyday material such as
advertisements and timetables.

printed personal notes, business advertisements, public announcements, maps, etc.
I can understand simple instructions, such as in very straightforward street directions.
I can understand very short simple written descriptions of some familiar persons, places,
and things, like those found in many tourist pamphlets.
I can understand texts that consist mainly of straightforward factual language, such as short
news reports of events, biographical information, descriptions, or simple technical material.
I can understand the main idea and some details of clearly organized short straightforward
texts about places, people, and events that I am familiar with.
I can understand very straightforward reports about current and past events.

either because they pertain to my work experience or to topics I am interested in.
I can usually read and understand all of the material in a major daily newspaper published
in a city or country with which I am familiar.
In reading a newspaper or magazine that contains editorial or opinion content, I can “read
between the lines” and understand meanings that are not directly stated.
I can understand the author’s intent and follow the line of reasoning in texts that include
hypothesis, persuasion, supported opinion or argument for a position (e.g.,
editorials,debates, and op-ed pieces) with little or no use of a dictionary.
I can understand contemporary expository essays and recent literary prose with little or no
use of a dictionary,.

Time Extension
Section 74.25 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) allows a grantee to notify IEPS about the
necessity to extend the end of a grant for up to 12 months. The time extension allows you to complete an activity that you were unable
to complete before the scheduled end date of your grant. If you need a time extension, you must notify your program officer in writing at
least 10 days before the end date of the grant.
*Please provide a justification for the one-time time extension.
Comments: (limit 1,500 characters and spaces)
*Enter the amount of funds to be used during the time extension
$
*Enter the revised end date for your project. When the project end date is extended, the due date for the submission of your final
performance report will change. The final performance report will be due 90 days after the revised end date.
Example: 01/01/1900
Please note: According to EDGAR 74.25(e)(2)(ii) a time extension may not be exercised merely for the purpose of using unobligated balances.

dialect.
My vocabulary is extensive and precise, allowing me to consistently convey complex ideas and details.
Reading
As appropriate for the language, I can recognize and identify all the letters in the printed version of an alphabetic
writing system (in languages like English, Spanish, Finnish, Russian, Greek, Vietnamese) or the elements of a
syllable-based writing system (such as in Japanese kana, Korean hangul, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Thai, or Hindi) or
some commonly occurring characters in a character system (Chinese, Japanese kanji, Korean hanja.)
I can read some isolated words and phrases, such as numbers and commonplace names, that I see on signs,

people, and events that I am familiar with.
I can understand very straightforward reports about current and past events.

to my work experience or to topics I am interested in.

which I am familiar.
In reading a newspaper or magazine that contains editorial or opinion content, I can “read between the lines” and
understand meanings that are not directly stated.

supported opinion or argument for a position (e.g., editorials,debates, and op-ed pieces) with little or no use of a
dictionary.
I can understand contemporary expository essays and recent literary prose with little or no use of a dictionary,.
I can understand the main ideas and important details of almost all material written within my particular professional
field or area of primary interest (e.g., reports, analyses, letters, arguments, etc.).
I am able to read fluently and accurately all styles and forms of the language pertinent to professional needs or
personal interest without reference to a dictionary,.
I can understand long and complex analyses, factual reports, and literary texts.
I can understand both the meaning and the intent of most uses of idioms, cultural references, word play, sarcasm,
and irony in even highly abstract and culturally “loaded” texts.
I can understand language that has been especially adjusted for different situations, audiences or purposes, such as
a political essay, humorous anecdote or joke, sermon, or inflammatory broadside, and I can appreciate distinctions in
style.
I can read virtually all forms of the written language, including abstract, linguistically complex texts such as
specialized articles, essays and literary works, including prose works from earlier periods recognized as
masterpieces.
I can read reasonably legible handwriting without difficulty
Writing
In everyday conversation with people speaking the standard dialect, I can understand speech that is slow and clear.
I can understand basic directions and instructions, such as how to get to a local store. I can understand questions
and answers about basic survival needs, such as meals, lodging, transportation and time. I can understand routine
questions about my job, my immediate family and myself. I can understand simple statements about a person’s
background and occupation. If I cannot understand what a speaker tells me, I can understand the statement after it
has been repeated or rephrased slowly and clearly.
When people are speaking the standard dialect at a normal rate, I can understand their speech when it is spoken
http://iris.ed.gov/irisomb/flas_fellow/LangEval.cfm[9/4/2009 1:26:23 PM]
IEPS - International Resource Information System (IRIS)
with some repetition and rephrasing, can understand speech about everyday topics, for example common personal
and family news, well-known current events, and routine situations at work. I can understand spoken descriptions of
different places, for instance the geography of a country or location that is familiar.I can understand uncomplicated
stories about current, past and future events. I can understand at least some details from announcements made
over a loudspeaker. I can usually understand the main idea and basic facts from a short news report on the radio or
television.
I can accurately follow all conversations among native speakers who are speaking at a normal rate of speech. I
rarely, if ever, have to ask speakers to paraphrase or explain what they have said. I can correctly infer meanings that
are not directly stated. I can understand discussions of ideas and concepts, including proposals and speculation. I
can understand someone’s opinion and the points used to support the opinion. I can often, if not always, detect the
attitudes and feelings of a speaker. I can understand speech in a professional setting concerning my field of
expertise or some technical subjects, such as a lecture or a panel discussion.
I can understand almost all forms and styles of speech pertinent to professional needs. I can fully understand all
speech that involves the use of extensive and precise vocabulary, including subtle distinctions between word
choices. I can follow arguments with unpredictable presentation, for example, in informal and formal speeches
covering editorial and literary material. I can understand language adjusted for different audiences and for different
purposes. I can readily and accurately infer meanings and implications. I am able to understand the main ideas of
speech in some non-standard dialects. I can fully understand spoken interactions among native speakers at public
gatherings, such as meetings, seminars, task groups or conferences. I can fully understand a speech, oral report or
briefing given to a group of native speakers concerning any topic directed to a general audience.
My comprehension is fully equivalent to that of a well-educated native listener. I can fully understand all forms and
styles of speech. This includes slang, jokes and puns. I can understand speech even when it is distorted by other
noise. I can fully understand regional dialects, highly colloquial and idiomatic language.

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.

Time Extension
Section 74.25 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) allows a grantee to notify IEPS about the
necessity to extend the end of a grant for up to 12 months. The time extension allows you to complete an activity that you were unable
to complete before the scheduled end date of your grant. If you need a time extension, you must notify your program officer in writing at
least 10 days before the end date of the grant.
*Please provide a justification for the one-time time extension.
Comments: (limit 1,500 characters and spaces)
*Enter the amount of funds to be used during the time extension
$
*Enter the revised end date for your project. When the project end date is extended, the due date for the submission of your final
performance report will change. The final performance report will be due 90 days after the revised end date.
Example: 01/01/1900
Please note: According to EDGAR 74.25(e)(2)(ii) a time extension may not be exercised merely for the purpose of using unobligated balances.

Speaking and Listening
I can tell/ask someone how to get from here to a nearby hotel, restaurant, or post office.
I can order a simple meal.
I can arrange for a hotel room or taxi ride.
I can buy a needed item such as bus or train ticket, groceries, or clothing.
I can ask and answer simple questions about date and place of birth, nationality, marital status,
occupation, etc.
I can make social introductions and use greeting and leave-taking expressions.
I can handle conversations about familiar topics in an organized way.
I can produce speech with some organization on familiar topics that extend beyond my daily
routine.
I can describe my present or most recent job or activity in some detail.
I can give detailed information about my family, my house, and my community.
I can interview an employee, or arrange for special services (taking care of details such as
salary, qualifications, hours, specific duties).
I can give a brief autobiography including immediate plans and hopes.
I feel confident that when I talk with native speakers on topics such as those mentioned above,
they understand me most of the time.
I can take and give simple messages over the telephone, or leave a message on voice mail.
I can describe in detail a person or place that is very familiar to me.
I can report the facts of what I have seen recently on television news or read in the newspaper.
I can talk about a trip or some other everyday event that happened in the recent past or that
will happen soon.
I feel that I have a professional command, rather than just a practical one, of the language.
There are few grammatical features of the language that I try to avoid.
I rarely find myself unable to finish a sentence because of linguistic limitations (grammar or
vocabulary).
I find it easy to follow and contribute to a conversation among native speakers.
I can speak to a group of educated native speakers on a professional subject and be sure I am
communicating what I want to, without obviously irritating them linguistically.
I can, on a social occasion, defend personal opinions about social and cultural topics.

I can cope with difficult situations such as broken-down plumbing, an undeserved traffic ticket,
or a serious social or diplomatic blunder made by a colleague or me.
I can use the language to speculate at length about abstract topics such as how some change
in history or the course of human events would have affected my life or civilization.
In professional discussions, my vocabulary is extensive and precise enough to enable me to
convey my exact meaning.
I am able to adjust my speech to suit my audience, whether I am talking to university
professors, close friends, employees, or others.
I can prepare and give a lecture at a professional meeting about my area of specialization and
debate complex aspects with others.
I naturally integrate appropriate cultural and historical references in my speech.
I can eloquently represent a point of view other than my own.
I can lead the direction of the discussion (friendly, controversial, collaborative).
My language proficiency is functionally equivalent to that of a highly articulate well-educated
native speaker and reflects the cultural standards of a country where the language is natively
spoken.
I can use the language with complete flexibility and intuition, so that speech on all levels is fully
accepted by well-educated native speakers in all of its features, including breadth of vocabulary
and idiom, colloquialisms, and pertinent cultural references.
My pronunciation is typically consistent with that of well-educated, highly articulate native
speakers of a standard dialect.
My vocabulary is extensive and precise, allowing me to consistently convey complex ideas and
details.
Reading
As appropriate for the language, I can recognize and identify all the letters in the printed version
of an alphabetic writing system (in languages like English, Spanish, Finnish, Russian, Greek,
Vietnamese) or the elements of a syllable-based writing system (such as in Japanese kana,
Korean hangul, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Thai, or Hindi) or some commonly occurring
characters in a character system (Chinese, Japanese kanji, Korean hanja.)
I can read some isolated words and phrases, such as numbers and commonplace names, that
I see on signs, menus, and storefronts, and in simple everyday material such as
advertisements and timetables.
I can understand the purpose and main meaning of very short, simple texts, such as in printed
personal notes, business advertisements, public announcements, maps, etc.
I can understand simple instructions, such as in very straightforward street directions.
I can understand very short simple written descriptions of some familiar persons, places, and
things, like those found in many tourist pamphlets.

about places, people, and events that I am familiar with.
I can understand very straightforward reports about current and past events.

because they pertain to my work experience or to topics I am interested in.
I can usually read and understand all of the material in a major daily newspaper published in a
city or country with which I am familiar.
In reading a newspaper or magazine that contains editorial or opinion content, I can “read
between the lines” and understand meanings that are not directly stated.
I can understand the author’s intent and follow the line of reasoning in texts that include
hypothesis, persuasion, supported opinion or argument for a position (e.g., editorials,debates,
and op-ed pieces) with little or no use of a dictionary.
I can understand contemporary expository essays and recent literary prose with little or no use
of a dictionary,.
I can understand the main ideas and important details of almost all material written within my
particular professional field or area of primary interest (e.g., reports, analyses, letters,
arguments, etc.).
I am able to read fluently and accurately all styles and forms of the language pertinent to

professional needs or personal interest without reference to a dictionary,.
I can understand long and complex analyses, factual reports, and literary texts.
I can understand both the meaning and the intent of most uses of idioms, cultural references,
word play, sarcasm, and irony in even highly abstract and culturally “loaded” texts.
I can understand language that has been especially adjusted for different situations, audiences
or purposes, such as a political essay, humorous anecdote or joke, sermon, or inflammatory
broadside, and I can appreciate distinctions in style.
I can read virtually all forms of the written language, including abstract, linguistically complex
texts such as specialized articles, essays and literary works, including prose works from earlier
periods recognized as masterpieces.

a local store. I can understand questions and answers about basic survival needs, such as
meals, lodging, transportation and time. I can understand routine questions about my job, my
immediate family and myself. I can understand simple statements about a person’s background
and occupation. If I cannot understand what a speaker tells me, I can understand the
statement after it has been repeated or rephrased slowly and clearly.
When people are speaking the standard dialect at a normal rate, I can understand their speech
when it is spoken with some repetition and rephrasing, can understand speech about everyday
topics, for example common personal and family news, well-known current events, and routine
situations at work. I can understand spoken descriptions of different places, for instance the
geography of a country or location that is familiar.I can understand uncomplicated stories about

expertise or some technical subjects, such as a lecture or a panel discussion.
