The Board has decided it is now time to push our efforts to the next level and make clear to consumers that not all programs are alike, and those who honestly examine their work, and contribute to the scholarly, professional, and practical understanding of the effects of our interventions deserve to be set apart and receive the proper recognition for their efforts. To this end the Board of NATSAP has established the new status of Research Designated Program to be given to programs that apply and demonstrate they are involved in supplying data that is aimed at evaluating NATSAP program effectiveness and increasing the understanding of our programs impact on youth and their families. Learn more about Research Designated Programs (RDP) and how to become one here!Â
Government Advocacy
The NATSAP Government Relations Committee seeks to analyze all legislation coming from Capitol Hill that will affect member programs. Through the committee, NATSAP formulates responses that would best support our members’ beliefs. Our government representation takes several forms, including: NATSAP Advocacy Day when members can meet key legislators to discuss issues of importance; review of and commentary on recently-introduced legislation; participation in hearings; and participation in key coalitions, among others.
NATSAP regularly monitors Federal grants for those that may be beneficial and applicable to our membership. Qualifying NATSAP members are welcome to apply for grants directly with the government.
