This has nothing to do with whether anyone gets to pocket grant money. OP is proposing transferring an award ticket to their assistant in exchange for the consideration of continued employment (the assistant is expected to do research). AA's program terms specifically rule out transfers of mileage or award tickets where consideration is involved. They should fund it out of the grant if they want to be 100% sure AA won't have a problem.
