Abstract
Sustainable implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) requires establishing standards, financial support, and technical assistance for the EBP. In response to a competitive, broad agency announcement to create a technical assistance center for Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) in the state of Indiana, we have created the ACT Center of Indiana. We begin with a description of the structural issues related to maintaining the center followed by descriptions of the activities to assist programs in implementing high quality EBP programs. We also discuss the ACT Center's role in establishing certification standards and funding for ACT. In each of the sections, we provide recommendations based on the lessons we have learned. Beginning in 2001, we expanded our focus to include other EBPs and describe our efforts in these areas as well.
