The compact envisions that in a stable system a broad range of universities and funding agencies would be prepared to underwrite open access publication charges. Thus, a compact institution may reasonably expect that for an article based on grant-funded research, the funding agency should be responsible for payment of the publication charge, and the article would not be eligible for underwriting by the institution whether or not the funding agency actually covers the particular charge.
