Narrative:
During a routine instrument training flight; my student was flying the PROVO4.ffu odp under simulated IFR conditions. I was talking to ATC during the flight. As we turned inbound to ffu we were given a traffic advisory of another DA40 that was east of us maneuvering at the same altitude. This is not uncommon in our training environment. I replied to ATC that we were looking for the traffic. A short time after; ATC issued a traffic alert to both aircraft. As I was looking for the traffic; I got a tis traffic alert inside my airplane that said the other aircraft was at the same altitude and 4 o'clock. I looked and saw the DA40 turning right into our flight path about 50 feet below us and within 200-300 feet. I immediately took the controls from my student; reported traffic in sight and an immediate climb to 9;000 to avoid that aircraft. We were cleared through the bravo airspace by ATC. The other aircraft never altered their course. It appeared they were holding over the VOR at 8;500 but they may not have communicated that to ATC; or at least that information was never communicated to me. If it were; I would have requested a bravo clearance at 9;000 feet and the whole thing would have been avoided.

Title: DA42 flight instructor reported a NMAC with a DA40 while on the PVU PROVO4 SID near the FFU VOR.
Narrative: During a routine instrument training flight; my student was flying the PROVO4.FFU ODP under simulated IFR conditions. I was talking to ATC during the flight. As we turned inbound to FFU we were given a traffic advisory of another DA40 that was east of us maneuvering at the same altitude. This is not uncommon in our training environment. I replied to ATC that we were looking for the traffic. A short time after; ATC issued a traffic alert to both aircraft. As I was looking for the traffic; I got a TIS traffic alert inside my airplane that said the other aircraft was at the same altitude and 4 o'clock. I looked and saw the DA40 turning right into our flight path about 50 feet below us and within 200-300 feet. I immediately took the controls from my student; reported traffic in sight and an immediate climb to 9;000 to avoid that aircraft. We were cleared through the bravo airspace by ATC.
