Data repositories are used to house data from primary research studies so that other researchers are able to use it to extend their research, answer new research questions, test hypotheses, and/or validate the results of a research study. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) strongly encourage researchers to share their data, when possible. As such, you may use this guide to find a list of common data repositories, with both open and controlled access options.
