I see practical research as being research from practice and highly useful. Most research (way too much) constructs studies where most variables are controlled, are conducted on specific types of people and often are time limited. When practitioners try to implement findings from these studies they struggle because in the real world - all of those things can't be controlled, there is a lot of individual variation in the real world, and life is not (particularly time limited). Science could do a lot more help practitioners conduct practical research!
