But then there's that other hot flavor, "replicable evidence-based models from national centers". So I offer this tip: If an RFP uses the phrase "evidence-based" 15 times or more, scrap "innovative". If it uses "innovative" 15 times, scrap "evidence-based". If it uses both 15 times in the same 3-page sentence (US Dept of Education?), combine several 500 mg acetaminophen tablets with a jumbo margarita, and let the cat type the prop.
