Summary
Independent human service agencies can establish a research review committee (RRC) to conduct clinically meaningful and ethical applied research. This guide provides essential information for creating and sustaining an RRC to build an evidence base for practice.
Area of Science:
- Behavior Analysis
- Applied Research
- Human Services
Background:
- Practice-based research is crucial for evidence-based clinical decision-making.
- University systems typically manage research ethics via institutional review boards.
- Independent agencies need a structured approach for ethical applied research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide guidance on establishing a research review committee (RRC) in human service settings.
- To outline the process for maintaining RRC activities for ethical research conduct.
- To support independent agencies in contributing clinically meaningful research.
Main Methods:
- Guidance document development for RRC establishment.
- Information dissemination on RRC maintenance and function.
- Focus on ethical considerations in applied research within human services.
Main Results:
- A framework for creating and operating an RRC is presented.
- Key considerations for ethical research in practice settings are highlighted.
- The importance of RRCs for independent agencies is emphasized.
Conclusions:
- Establishing an RRC is essential for human service agencies to conduct ethical applied research.
- RRCs facilitate the generation of clinically meaningful evidence from practice settings.
- This guidance supports agencies in contributing to the evidence base in behavior analysis.

This lesson delves into the concept of protection and deprotection of a functional group fundamental to synthetic organic chemistry. These phenomena are explained in the context of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols.
Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...

In power systems, the entire setup is divided into protective zones to isolate faults and protect the rest of the network. These zones include generators, transformers, buses, transmission lines, distribution lines, and motors. Each zone can be visualized as a separate room in a house, with each room protected by its own circuit breaker.
Protective zones are defined by closed dashed lines, containing one or more components. A key characteristic of these zones is the strategic placement of...
