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
