The Model Demonstration Coordination Center

The Model Demonstration Coordination Center (MDCC) was funded from 2005 to 2015
by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP)
and operated by SRI International.  MDCC synthesized findings across 10 cohorts
of model demonstration and technology implementation grantees to identify
characteristics of an effective implementation and intervention refinement
process—one that moves a practice or tool from early testing to full
implementation, sustained implementation, and wider adoption. MDCC findings
provide important information about how developers, intervention users, and
stakeholders can improve the likelihood of high-quality and sustained
implementation.

About the MDCC

The MDCC

Worked with 34 grantees in 10 cohorts


Facilitated collaborative partnerships with grantees to create opportunities to
learn and share ideas, tools, and resources

Worked with grantees in some cohorts to establish consistent design elements
across projects to deepen the evidence base for the interventions

Synthesized findings across projects and cohorts to identify factors
facilitating or hindering implementation

Identified successful strategies for implementation success

Identified key issues in bridging the chasm that can exist between identifying
evidence-based practices and achieving their widespread use.

MDCC Cohorts

From 2005 to 2014 OSEP funded seven cohorts of model demonstration projects,
each focused on a single new and promising practice, procedure, or program that
is deemed to have high potential for improving child outcomes. From 2012 to
2014, OSEP also funded three cohorts of Stepping Up technology implementation
projects which implement evidence-based technology tools and develop and
disseminate products that are intended to help schools and early intervention
programs effectively implement the tools. Information about each of these
cohorts can be found at the links below.
