This is great - thank you!
Since not all of us are based in the US (I am currently based in Germany), I am wondering what possibilities there may be to use the move to online testing (that everyone now faces - likely for a while) to increase sample diversity in studies and to forster collaboration between different labs. So could we for example run an English, German, Spanish, etc. version of a task as a collaborative project between different labs? Also, some labs may already have experience doing developmental research online but may have exhausted their pool of families, while others may have access to large family databases but may have little or no experience doing research online.

Hello All!
I'm excited about this new community and looking forward to ways that we can learn from and support each other.
As we adjust to what may be a long period of working from home, many of us are trying to figure out how we can continue our research programs. To help facilitate the process of connecting research opportunities with the community, I have created two sets of google spreadsheets and forms.
One focuses on research opportunities that involve testing children; the other focuses on research opportunities that involve testing parents only (i.e., can be completed without participation from children).
If you are interested in sharing a research project with the broader community and have IRB approval for online testing, please add your study information into the appropriate form linked below. Note that these spreadsheets are meant to serve as a recruiting tool for studies that can be completed online at this time, not as a general advertisement for research laboratories. Please wait to complete the form until you have permission from your IRB to conduct studies online and can move forward accordingly.
The information will automatically populate into the google spreadsheets, which can be shared broadly with the community. In this way, we can share research opportunities through our social networks to let parents know about online testing opportunities related to child development. Parents would then have control over which studies to explore further.
Finally, please feel free to share the spreadsheet links widely through your labs and through social media; I've shared them from my twitter account (@CandiceMMills) if you'd like to retweet from there.
Take care,
Candice Mills
