A local program can be successfully transplanted beyond state lines if it contains the seeds for its own dissemination and replication. One such program, the Volunteer Information Provider Program (VIPP), was first piloted in Missouri and then disseminated to 20 states. The strategy, steps taken, and key elements of this successful model are delineated. The VIPP, a rural family caregiver program, was utilized, in just the dissemination phase, by 657 professionals and volunteers to aid 7,213 rural family caregivers across the United States.
