Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Powers

    I am grateful for NITARP and appreciative for all those that put in the long hours so the program can be as successful as it is. I had heard about the program at a workshop in 2012 and decided to apply since I heard what a great program it is. My experiences have gone way beyond my expectations. Thanks [..] for giving teachers and students the opportunities you do!

  • Keeton

    [..]Students who are given the opportunity to do "real science" generally find a greater deal of success when it comes to understanding concepts (and at a deeper level).

  • Rutherford

    I will definitely be using the skills and the knowledge that I acquired in the NITARP program in the future for my own and for my future students’ research.
