Secondary goals may include:

• What works for whom, under what conditions: Investigate variations in program effects; that is, test for moderation effects that inform whether program effects are stronger for certain groups and/or under certain conditions than other groups or conditions.
• Reasons for effects: Investigate mechanisms through which effects occur; that is, test for mediation effects that inform why the program is effective.
• Cost-benefit analyses: Compare the total costs of the program with its estimated monetary benefts to determine the net cost or benefit associated with the program.

Duration:

• Up to three years. Note that on rare occations, the Foundation funds robust longitudinal studies of longer duration.
