Domenica,

At a former university, I was involved in an NIH STTR proposal, where the PI had the same role at both the university & the business.  The university's Conflict of Interest Policy did allow the investigator to serve in this capacity, but the investigator was advised that, should an award result, the university would required that a COI management plan would need to be developed & the university's COI committee would need to monitor & assure that the COI plan was implement & followed.

For those of you who are older, I believe Jerry Fife was on temporary assignment heading our office.  Jerry is a true research administration guru.  He served as an NCURA president & was a member of the rock band "Sole Source & No Cost Extensions." He was the individual I worked with on this COI issue.

“Multiple organizations may not submit the same multiple PD/PI application”

To me, this reads as you can’t submit a proposal, and what would be a subaward institution can’t submit their project as a separate proposal when there’s overlap and it really is a single project.

What was being asked is for a PI with a joint appointment at two institutions to submit one proposal with a subaward, so this isn’t pertinent to the discussion.

In the end, yes, talk to the PO and GMS about why this unique situation is needed. Is capability/capacity at the second institution unique and required?
Does the prime not have enough capability that requires something elsewhere?
Does the PI have a high level post doc, doctorate researcher/lab manager who could act as PI at the second institution since the prime PI is responsible for overseeing the entire project. This could also be a way of bringing up an up and coming researcher.

The PI might also reach out to other PIs who are in their area of research and ask, if they were reviewing such a proposal, their thoughts and concerns would be.
