We need some guidance...

We have a federal training grant that is paying the tuition for participants to take a summer graduate level course. Once the tuition is paid to the university from grant funds, are the funds considered state/university funds at that point?  We have been asked if we can turn around and pay the PI's summer salary from those tuition dollars to meet part of our large cost share.

We're seeming to have a difference of opinion on this question....  You're input would be so helpful to us.

Thanks,
Beryline
