We have a potential situation where one of our faculty members is an employee at an affiliated hospital. We would submit the proposal (most likely NIH) and then subcontract to the hospital. He would perform the clinical research at the hospital, but would perform the basic research at our university.  He would be the PI at both institutions, but we would put a conflict of interest management plan in place so someone else (supervisor?) would approve the work and invoices. Comments on this scenario?

We actually had that situation at my university.  Ironically, the timing
was during a regional NIH meeting so I took the opportunity to address
it with the NIH compliance official who said that it should not be
allowed under any circumstances due to the obvious conflict of interest
issue.

Dear Colleagues-

We are a private, non-profit entity that regularly initiates subawards
to and/or receives subawards from a university.  Some of our researchers
have joint appointments at our institution as well as the university.
One of our researchers is putting together a proposal and wants to serve
as the PI on both the prime award (which would come to us) and the
subaward (which would go to the university).  I was wondering if any of
your institutions have a policy about this or have experience with this
type of arrangement on a grant proposal.

Thanks in advance!

Laurie Taylor
