Abstract: Information Resource Information System (IRIS) is an
online performance reporting system for grantees of International and

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)
