What if child porn is encountered during research?

Perhaps you should offer the ability to batch submit the CP materials.
 It's easier for the LEA and you.  See if they're OK with that...  Be
sure to have written approval for this arrangement.

Just something that has worked in the past...

PS: can we talk about cool things, like air cannons?

If the CP in question is encountered while servicing a computer with a known
user/owner then reporting it is the ethical right thing to do. However, in
the case of darknet research it's next to impossible to know where it came
from, and if it was reported everytime a new image/video was found you would
be in calling an FBI field office every 20min. This has a huge chilling
effect on such research, or at least the publishing of such research. I'm
asking a lawyer I know on the issue, and in the mean time being careful
where I click.
