Abstract:
Information Resource Information System (IRIS) is an online performance reporting system for grantees of International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) programs. The site also allows for IFLE program officers to process overseas language requests, travel authorization requests, and grant activation requests. IRIS keeps a record of these requests and also of Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship recipients and grantee performance reports. This is a request for an extension of IRIS, which will permit the continued collection of project and program performance data for IFLE programs: (1) American Overseas Research Centers (AORC), (2) Business and International Education (BIE), (3) Centers for International Business Education (CIBE), (4) Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships, (5) Institute for International Public Policy (IIPP), (6) International Research and Studies (IRS), (7) Language Resource Centers (LRC), (8) National Resource Centers (NRC), (9) Technological Innovation and Cooperation for Foreign Information Access (TICFIA), (10) Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL), (11) Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program (DDRA), (12) Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA), (13) Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad (GPA), and (14) Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad (SA).
