# Policy

A Policy describes the access compliance requirements for a specific [Funder](/developer-documentation/pass-core/model/funder.md) or Institution. These Policies are used to determine which [Repositories](/developer-documentation/pass-core/model/repository.md) a [Publication](/developer-documentation/pass-core/model/publication.md) should be [submitted](/developer-documentation/pass-core/model/submission.md) to in order to be in compliance with its associated [Grants](/developer-documentation/pass-core/model/grant.md) and the User's institutional policies.
