500    "RAND Safety and Justice Program." 
500    "The research described in this report was sponsored by 
       the Bureau of Justice Assistance and was conducted in the 
       Safety and Justice Program within RAND Justice, 
       Infrastructure, and Environment."--Title page verso. 
500    "In this report, we describe a study of program 
       sustainability examining the sustainment status of 231 BJA
       grantee programs from BJA's drug court (DC), human 
       trafficking (HT), and mental health (MH) areas. To ground 
       this task in a theoretical context, we started with a 
       literature review outlining definitions of sustainment and
       the factors associated with sustained programs. These 
       themes were further explored in primary data collection 
       from interviews with seven key informants in the criminal 
       justice field. Specifically, we asked about program 
       characteristics and other factors associated with program 
       sustainment beyond cessation of BJA funding. We then 
       reviewed archival records on each program, including 
       information contained within their grant applications, 
       progress reports, BJA assessments, and other documents to 
       select relevant characteristics and examined their 
       association within program sustainment beyond seed 
       funding. To assess program sustainment, we report results 
       of a survey of 136 of the 231 funded grantees followed by 
       an analysis of factors predictive of program sustainment."
       --Introduction. 
504    Includes bibliographical references (pages 45-48). 
520    The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) aims to improve 
       community safety through effective programming throughout 
       the United States. To maximize the impact of its 
       investments, BJA has an interest in supporting programs 
       that will be sustained beyond initial federal funding. 
       This notion of program sustainability is becoming 
       increasingly important as programs have been challenged to
       operate with increasingly scarce resources. RAND 
       Corporation researchers aimed to better understand the 
       characteristics and environments of programs that are 
       likely to persist beyond federal seed funding and to 
       delineate strategies that will enable BJA to assist 
       programs that it funds in their efforts to sustain 
       themselves. Using archival documentation and survey 
       methods, they assessed 231 BJA grantee programs spanning 
       three BJA funding domains - drug courts, human trafficking,
       and mental health - to identify characteristics associated
       with sustainability. They found evidence of program 
       sustainment in most BJA grantees studied, particularly in 
       sustained funding. They also examined the association 
       between organizational and contextual factors and 
       sustained operations and sustained funding. Finally, they 
       recommend a plan for ongoing measurement of 
       sustainability.
