4  Green-Lighting process

All labs must complete a series of preparation steps, referred to by MB as the “Green-Lighting” process, before collecting data for any ManyBabies project. These steps are outlined in the MB5 lab participation overview list and 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
• submitting a walkthrough video of the lab’s consent and testing procedure
• successfully running pilot data through the MB Data Validator

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT collect experimental data for MB5 until you have received a “Green-Light” from the MB5 Project Leads!
