Check for a repository

To check for a repository in a given discipline it is best to search in the Registry of Research Data Repositories (https://www.re3data.org/ ). If you are looking for a generalized repository, which fulfills the requirements of SNSF, use this overview: http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/FAIR_data_repositories_examples.pdf
