Consultant THEN employee? Carol Clem 20 Aug 2009 13:49 EST

I know there are labor laws, etc. that play into whether someone can be a
consultant then hired as an employee or vice versa.  Does anyone know if
there are grant rules prohibiting a single individual being paid as a consultant
then hired as an employee, both paid out of grant funds?  Presumably, this is
easier to defend than the other way around but still thought I should check.
This is a DOE grant to a non-profit so the university regs of no faculty as
consultants does not apply here.

Thanks for any insight you can provide!
