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.

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.
