The integration of research into clinical practice settings is fundamental to the advancement of applied behavior analysis, yet it raises significant ethical and practical challenges that many agencies are ill-equipped to address. The article by LeBlanc, Nosik, and Petursdottir (2018) in Behavior Analysis in Practice confronted this gap directly by outlining frameworks for establishing consumer protections when research is conducted in human service agencies.

Conducting research in practice settings is the primary mechanism for establishing a strong foundation of evidence for clinical decision making. In behavior analysis, this type of research frequently originates from university-based systems that have established institutional review boards. Independent human service agencies that want to contribute applied research to the literature base that is clinically meaningful and conducted in an ethical fashion must establish a research review committee (RRC). The purpose of this article is to provide information and guidance for establishing and maintaining the activity of an RRC in a human service setting.
