conditions on a grant if the applicant or
grantee is not financially stable; has a
history of unsatisfactory performance;
has a financial or other management
system that does not meet the standards
in 2 CFR part 200, subpart D; has not
fulfilled the conditions of a prior grant;
or is otherwise not responsible.
4. Integrity and Performance System:
If you are selected under this
competition to receive an award that
over the course of the project period
may exceed the simplified acquisition
threshold (currently $150,000), under 2
CFR 200.205(a)(2) we must make a
judgment about your integrity, business
ethics, and record of performance under
Federal awards—that is, the risk posed
by you as an applicant—before we make
an award. In doing so, we must consider
any information about you that is in the
integrity and performance system
(currently referred to as the Federal
Awardee Performance and Integrity
Information System (FAPIIS)),
accessible through the System for
Award Management. You may review
and comment on any information about
yourself that a Federal agency
previously entered and that is currently
in FAPIIS.
Please note that, if the total value of
your currently active grants, cooperative
agreements, and procurement contracts
from the Federal Government exceeds
$10,000,000, the reporting requirements
in 2 CFR part 200, Appendix XII,
require you to report certain integrity
information to FAPIIS semiannually.
Please review the requirements in 2 CFR
part 200, Appendix XII, if this grant
plus all the other Federal funds you
receive exceed $10,000,000.
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 Notification (GAN); or we may
send the IHE an email containing a link
to access an electronic version of the
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 of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section of
this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The

Jkt 244001

GAN also incorporates the approved
application as part of the binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a
grant under this competition, you must
ensure that you have in place the
necessary processes and systems to
comply with the reporting requirements
in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive
funding under the competition. This
does not apply if you have an exception
under 2 CFR 170.110(b).
(b) At the end of your project period,
you must submit a final performance
report, including financial information,
as directed by the Secretary. If you
receive a multiyear award, you must
submit an annual performance report
that provides the most current
performance and financial expenditure
information as directed by the Secretary
under 34 CFR 75.118. Grantees are
required to use the electronic data
instrument International Resource
Information System (IRIS) to complete
the final report. The Secretary may also
require more frequent performance
reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For
specific requirements on reporting,
please go to www.ed.gov/fund/grant/
apply/appforms/appforms.html.
4. Performance Measures: Under the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 (GPRA), 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 measures to evaluate its
success in meeting this objective:
DDRA GPRA Measure 1: The
percentage of DDRA fellows who
increased their foreign language scores
in speaking, reading, or writing by at
least one proficiency level.
DDRA GPRA Measure 2: The
percentage of DDRA fellows who
complete their degree in their program
of study within four years of receipt of
the fellowship.
DDRA GPRA Measure 3: The
percentage of DDRA fellows who found
employment that utilized their language
and area studies skills within eight
years of receiving their award.
DDRA GPRA Measure 4: Efficiency
Measure—The cost per DDRA fellow
who found employment that utilized
their language and area studies skills
within eight years.
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
