COMMUNITY OF PRAXIS
Welcome to the AHSIE Community of Praxis
Turning Knowledge into Practice. Practice into Progress.
Praxis is where what we know about serving students becomes how we serve them better. AHSIE’s Community of Praxis connects learning, reflection, and action through professional development that strengthens how HSI educators and leaders serve students and their institutions. Through webinars, workshops, conversations, and shared resources, Praxis brings together research, practitioners' knowledge, and promising practices applicable across institutional contexts.
What Praxis Looks Like LEARN → REFLECT → APPLY → SHARE
Learn: Engage with research, practitioner knowledge, emerging ideas, and promising practices relevant to HSI institutions.
Reflect: Consider what that knowledge means with your own students, programs, institutions, and context.
Apply: Turn learning and reflection into meaningful strategies, practices, programs, and institutional action.
Share: Exchange experience, lessons, and practices that strengthen learning across the broader HSI community.
AHSIE Praxis turns knowledge into practice and practice into progress, strengthening our collective capacity to better serve students and institutions.

Utilizing HSI Title V/Title III Grant Funds for Professional Development
For more information about utilizing HSI Title V/Title III grant funds to cover professional development registration for AHSIE events, please review Part 200 - Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. For further guidance on CFR, contact your U.S. Department of Education Program Specialist.
(a) General. Travel costs are the expenses for transportation, lodging, subsistence, and related items incurred by employees who are in travel status on official business of the non-Federal entity. Such costs may be charged on an actual cost basis, on a per diem or mileage basis in lieu of actual costs incurred, or on a combination of the two, provided the method used is applied to an entire trip and not to selected days of the trip, and results in charges consistent with those normally allowed in like circumstances in the non-Federal entity's non-federally-funded activities and in accordance with non-Federal entity's written travel reimbursement policies. Notwithstanding the provisions of § 200.444, travel costs of officials covered by that section are allowable with the prior written approval of the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity when they are specifically related to the Federal award.
(b) Lodging and subsistence. Costs incurred by employees and officers for travel, including costs of lodging, other subsistence, and incidental expenses, must be considered reasonable and otherwise allowable only to the extent such costs do not exceed charges normally allowed by the non-Federal entity in its regular operations as the result of the non-Federal entity's written travel policy. In addition, if these costs are charged directly to the Federal award documentation must justify that:
(1) Participation of the individual is necessary to the Federal award; and
(2) The costs are reasonable and consistent with non-Federal entity's established travel policy.
§ 200.456 Participant support costs.
Participant support costs as defined in § 200.1 are allowable with the prior approval of the Federal awarding agency.
Participant support costs means direct costs for items such as stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with conferences, or training projects.
