Her winning grant proposal to the NSF was plagiarized, as was its research. The school she just left, Central Michigan University, has to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars back to the NSF, and, as one faculty member put it:
“We are under budget constraints, and this is a lot of money… I’m concerned that colleagues of mine committed what is a major breach of academic integrity. We tell our students all the time that they shouldn’t plagiarize in their papers, and here we have colleagues who should know better.”
Now at Ohio State she lists on her webpage cv the very grant.
2005-2007, Co-PI (with Douglas Lapp): CONCEPT: CONnecting Content and Pedagogical preparation of Teachers. National Science Foundation.
Here she is. Ohio State’s picked a winner.

For a similar example of people who were stripped of tenure at one institution for double dipping and are now at the other dipped institution – with the administration hoping no one notices – please see:
