I am writing an IACUC protocol and would like to know people's opinions about the complexity of my protocol.
I want to generate infectious materials, then use them in a variety of ways. One way to write my protocol is to create the material, then write a separate protocol to use the materials, someone in my lab said it would be easier for IACUC to approve a single (invariably longer) protocol.
Does anyone have an opinion? Also, how would you phrase using infectious material in a variety of ways (cell-based systems, cell-free systems, titer assay, multiple inoculations, etc.)
Thanks!

Well it depends. Is all of the activity covered under one grant? If so, then you could write one protocol for everything. It makes the process easier for you and the IACUC members because they don't have to review multiple protocols. Also, don't forget to seek out your veterinary member of the IACUC and ask for a pre-review of the protocol. They can give you helpful feedback and help you correct potential problems so the protocol gets approved faster. I hope this helps.
