Narrative:
Near miss occurred while in IMC on an IFR flight plan. [I] was conducting training with student student flying and CFI monitoring. ATC center advised traffic; replied 'negative contact in IMC' center asked if we had him on TCAS; replied yes. Asked if we wanted left or right; center gave us vectors for traffic acknowledged and complied with vectors. At this point the vectors put us into conflict with traffic coming in and out of the cloud bank glimpsed traffic very close less than 50 feet horizontal and vertical in between clouds on a collision course approx 10/11 o clock off the nose. Took aircraft from student and extreme evasive action was taken to avoid a collision. Controller gave some sort of statement after the accident about sorry about that; those vectors put you on a collision. Contributing factors ATC's failure to maintain separation of IFR aircraft in IMC from radar targets; second aircraft failure to maintain VFR.
