Nine demonstration projects were funded under the John A. Hartford Foundation's Generalist Physician Initiative. This article focuses on how these nonprofit grantees dealt with shortterm funding and the approaches they used to integrate program elements into parent health care systems. Continuation strategies included leveraging with foundation dollars, restructuring physician practices, enhancing community connections, modeling collaboration, and cross‐fertilizing projects. In order to succeed, project managers needed to be sensitive to project selection, transition planning and reporting, project organization and design, management and integration, cultural differences, and project dissemination and support.
