Rebecca,

You can do a RUI with a subaward to a collaborator at a non-RUI eligible
institution; both institutions don't have to be RUI eligible. You don't
have to include the collaborator as a consultant, and if you plan on using
the collaborator's equipment, which is presumably housed at her
institution, you'll have to do a subaward. Just make sure the bulk of the
money is going to your RUI institution, and not the collaborator's, which
is not a RUI institution.

Subject: [RESADM-L] RUI question

We have a professor who is working on an RUI.  He has just learned that
one
of his collaborators - the one with the equipment he needs for his
research -
is not eligible for an RUI.  Now he plans on using her as a consulant
since she
is the one that is well-versed in use of the equipment.

While I'm pretty sure we can include her as a consultant in the budget (if
I'm
wrong, please let me know), she would like to include wages for her grad
student for one month during the summer.  Is this allowable?
