NTP hasn't really gone anywhere yet, but work on that line of research hasn't really stopped, either.

DARPA is due to announce its Phase 2/3 (ground validation and flight demonstration) contract award for the DRACO project anytime now. Time will tell how far that actually gets.

NASA is continuing to make slow progress on its own NTP project, though that's still entirely a drawing board exercise.
