I assume you are talking about some kind of scientific conflict of interest,
where one (or both) investigators would not be properly critical of the
other investigator's analysis, design or some such part of the research.  I
assume that one investigator does not report to the other.  If there is a
concern, then probably a review committee would want to make sure that there
is someone else handling/supervising the portion of the research of most
concern - which I would assume would be the research design and the data
analysis.
Not sure if this is what you were asking ...

Subject: [RESADM-L] Spouses working as PI/CO-PI's

I am looking for information on how other institutions handle spouses who
are both employed at the institutions and want to work together on
externally funded projects, where one is acting as the PI and the other as
the Co-PI.

Thank you,
