From the FAQ on NSF SBIRs (NSF 20-031, #47):
“In general, no person should request funds or otherwise financially benefit through more than one institutional affiliation for a single NSF SBIR/STTR project. Therefore, individuals
with a financial interest in the proposing small business (including company equity holders or anticipated employees) may not request funds through a subaward budget or as a consultant. In rare cases, this requirement might prove unusually onerous; therefore,
it is possible for NSF to grant an exception, if recommended by the Program Director and approved by the Division Director for the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships.”

Subject: Dual Employment by Private PI on SBIR grant with University Sub
Hi All –
I have an NSF SBIR proposal where the Commercial partner was looking to have their PI be someone who would also employed by the University Subrecipient on the project. I’m very comfortable saying no to that, but I’m hoping someone has
a regulation/policy that states it is unallowable.
Sincerely
