Also, the requirements of SNSF to repositories suitable for hosting data are considered. The article allows one to get an initial idea of the data life cycle planning in the (post)grant period according to the requirements of a number of scientific institutions and can serve as a practical guide for researchers who face the issues of data life cycle planning for the first time.
