The only time we've run into this when we couldn't head it off was when one
of our investigators had an NIH grant and then went on sabbatical in
another country. He intended to continue the research at that visiting
institution, as well as have his lab here continue some of their work. He
wanted to fashion a subcontract to himself at this temporary
institution. NIH OK'd that, but required him to name an investigator at
the home lab who would be in charge in his absence.
Otherwise, if an investigator is not a paid employee of our university,
he/she cannot be a PI on an application. From our point of view, if the
person is not an employee, we really don't have any control over his/her
actions re: compliance.
Don't know if this helps --
