Conflict of interest? Susan B Metosky 19 Nov 2004 12:20 EST

Good afternoon,
I was wondering if any universities have conflict of interests policies
that address the following type of scenario.

A PI wants to hire his spouse to be a consultant on a grant that he
received. The PI claims that his spouse is one of the experts in the field.

Would your institution view this as a conflict of interest, and if so, how
would you address this issue?
