Abstract:
The International Resource Information System (IRIS) is an online performance reporting system for International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) grantees. IFLE grantees are institutions of higher education, organizations and individuals funded under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) and/or the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act (Fulbright-Hays Act). Grantees under these programs enter budget and performance measure data for interim, annual and final performance reports via IRIS, as well as submit International Travel Approval Requests and Grant Activation Request. IRIS also includes a public web site that helps disseminate information about IFLE programs.

Short Statement:
This revision results in an increase in overall burden hours. This is due to a re-estimation of hours per response as a result of several public comments. The revisions primarily include the addition of a Performance Measurement Form that will more effectively capture project performance data. There is a reduction in the number of respondents, as fewer grants were awarded in FY 2014.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$1,046,561
