6  Green-Lighting process overview

All labs must complete a series of preparation steps, referred to by ManyBabies as the “Green-Lighting” process, before collecting data for any MB project. These steps are outlined in the MB5 lab participation overview list and explained in detail throughout the following sections of this manual, but in essence this involves:

• providing required documentation (e.g., ethics approval, lab-specific Demographics Questionnaire)
• demonstrating correct implementation of the testing procedure
• successfully running pilot data through the MB Data Validator

Check the MB5 Project Tracker to view your lab’s status

IMPORTANT:

🚫 DO NOT collect experimental data for MB5 until your lab has completed this process and received a “Green-Light” from the MB5 Project Leads! 🚫
