Insights from Empirical Literature and from Program Directors Reveal Some Characteristics of Sustainable Programs

• Following their review of the literature, the researchers hypothesized that sustainment would be most strongly associated with programs showing evidence of increased funding stability, increased modifiability, increased political support, stronger partnerships, greater organizational capacity, program evaluation, greater public impact, and strategic planning.
• Program sustainment was significantly predicted by measures of program funding stability, program modifiability, and the existence of well-connected project leaders.
• In post hoc tests, sustainment was also significantly predicted by the existence of well-connected project leaders.
