I encountered one where the PI on the prime at another institution subcontracted
the  training component of a NIH grant to our institution and came to oversee
the project.  We named another University Faculty member as CO-PI with her and
she participated in an advisory capacity as a Research Faculty (salary solely
supported by research funding) only drawing salary from the prime award and it's
institution.  The whole concept made my stomach queasy, but NIH went with it.
