All trials and studies funded by the Foundation Dam must preregister in the foundation’s own registry at Open Science Framework (OSF).

1 Create an OSF account

If you don’t have an OSF account, sign up here.

Your collaborators should also register. They can be added to the preregistration draft and work on it together with you.

2 Log in at our registry

Visit our OSF registry (osf.io/registries/dam) and log in

3 Add new registration

4 Choose a registration template

You can choose among the following four preregistration templates.

OSF Preregistration

This is our standard, comprehensive, and general-purpose preregistration form. This is the one you should most likely use, even if you are registering after data collection has started or been completed. The template can be previewed here.

Qualitative Preregistration

Template for registering primarily qualitative work. Preview here.

Secondary Data Preregistration

For preregistering a research project that uses an existing dataset. Example here.

Registered Report Protocol Preregistration

Register your protocol AFTER having been given «in-principle acceptance» from a Registered Report journal. Preview here.

5 Complete and submit

When you have completed the preregistration, you submit it to us. We will look through the preregistration to make sure it fulfills our requirements. When approved the registration will be made public.

If you have questions regarding the registration process or template, please visit the OSF Support Page.
