Narrative:

I was d-side at sector 49 combined with sector 18. Hinch mountain sector (41) called to coordinate ir-002 going active for aircraft X with an exit altitude of 6;000 and an exit time of xb:10 which I approved. I notified the r-side and put up a track at the exit point with an altitude of 6;000 in the data block as a reminder. I failed to realize that the mia (minimum IFR altitude) at that location was 7;300. I went on a break around xa:30 and when I came back is when I was told of the mistake I had made.the r-side tried to reach the aircraft involved on guard and through asheville and knoxville approach control without success. Our buec (backup emergency communications systems) frequency had been released so it was unavailable. Aircraft X checked in eventually; VFR out of 8;300 and climbing at the exit point. The r-side cleared the aircraft on course and to climb to 9;000. Ir 002 states that the aircraft owns 300 ft AGL up to 9;000 and is responsible for their own terrain and obstruction clearance. However; I only approved 6;000 at their exit which is below our mia. I understand I am at fault and take full responsibility. I have learned from my mistake and hope that it improves me as a controller. Sector 41 could be notified that the exit point of ir 002 is at an area with an mia of 7;300. But I don't think that's necessary because the controllers and I shouldn't approve anything below the mia. I just should've had better situational awareness.
