VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: If a student
application is successful, we notify the
IHE’s U.S. Representative and U.S.
Senators and send the IHE a Grant
Award Notice (GAN). We may notify the
IHE informally, also.
If a student application is not
evaluated or not selected for funding,
we notify the IHE.
2. Administrative and National Policy
Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy
requirements in the application package
and reference these and other
requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section in this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section in
this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The
GAN also incorporates its approved

commitments under the grant.

required to use the International
Resource Information System (IRIS)
electronic reporting system to complete
the final report.
4. Performance Measures: Under the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993, the objective for the
Fulbright-Hays DDRA Fellowship
Program is to provide grants to colleges
and universities to fund individual
doctoral students to conduct research in
other countries in modern foreign
languages and area studies for periods of
6 to 12 months.
The Department will use the
following DDRA measures to evaluate
its success in meeting this objective:
Performance Measure 1: The average
language competency score of FulbrightHays DDRA Fellowship recipients at the
end of their period of research minus
their average score at the beginning of
the period.
Performance Measure 2: Percentage of
Fulbright-Hays DDRA projects judged to
be successful by the program officer,
based on a review of information
provided in annual performance reports.
Efficiency measure: Cost per grantee
increasing language competency by at
least one level in at least one area.
The information provided by grantees
in their performance report submitted
via IRIS will be the source of data for
this measure. Reporting screens for
institutions and fellows may be viewed
