These include: a) The Route to Success framework (PADDC, 2009) for effecting systems change that includes improving the knowledge base, selecting social strategies, engaging stakeholders, supporting policy entrepreneurs, and using unexpected events (or โtipping pointsโ); b) a model for change (Newman & Lobosco, 2008) that identifies four domains of successful systems changeโpolicies and procedures, infrastructure, design and delivery of services, and expectation of outcomes and experiences; and c) Scheirerโs (2010) delineation of four dimensions of sustainability (individual, organization, community and population) that emphasizes concepts or programmatic philosophy rather than funding.

The cross-site evaluation encompassed four domains: systems change, fidelity, child and family outcomes, and cost. Recognizing that grantees were operating in complex, dynamic, and unpredictable environments, the systems change domain used a Developmental Evaluation design that was responsive to changes in the initiatives and in their environments, including recession-related budget cuts and the unexpected drastic reduction in the grant and evaluation funding in its second year of operation
