Applied behavior analysis was founded on the scientist-practitioner model — the premise that behavior analysts are not merely consumers of research but active contributors to the scientific knowledge base of the field.

We value the role that research plays within our field and have always aimed to have scientist practitioners implementing clinical practice.

The purpose of this talk will be to provide guidance to behavior analysts of how to set up research teams and conduct research within the settings that they work.
