This data point provides a summary of high school academic performance through placing students in one of three groups based on similar grade performance and course rigor. Admitted students are not equally distributed between these hierarchical group. As of 1/29/2025, admitted first-year students are distributed across the three academic groups as follows:  

• Group 1: (34.0% of admits) This group has achieved all A/A- Grades taking rigorous courses across 4-5 course subjects. Course subject areas include English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Language

• Group 2: (33.5%) Most of the students in this group have achieved A- grades with rigor across 4 subjects. Some students may have achieved higher grades with slightly lower rigor or slightly lower grades with slightly greater rigor.

• Group 3: (32.4%) This group contains all remaining admits. Most students in this group have achieved A-/AB grades with rigor across 2-4 subjects. 

It is appropriate to note that access to high course rigor is not consistent among our admitted students and that some schools do not offer as many opportunities for advanced course work. As a result, not every student will have an opportunity to achieve at the highest academic performance and course rigor groups. The Academic Performance and Course Rigor Group should be used in conjunction with other aspects of student achievement.

A Department ID is the sequence of numbers that identifies a specific campus department, program, or entity. Historically, the Department ID was known as a "UDDS," which stands for "Unit, Division, Department, Subdepartment." This term is still in use in some resources, so we are including it in this glossary listing.

In more practical terms, a Department ID/UDDS is the unique combination of letters and numbers that identify the division, department, and possibly subdepartment, associated with a particular personnel, research, financial, or other activity or transaction.

EXAMPLE:  The full Department ID for a particular Letters & Science Department would be written as : 48XXXX.

"48" stands for "College of Letters & Science"

"XXXX" are the four numbers that identify the specific department, program, project, or other administrative entity.

A list of Letters & Science Department ID/UDDS numbers can be found at:

Research teams initially determine which IRB to submit their study to. During pre-reivew, the IRB office may determine that the study should be reviewed by another IRB.  This activity, available only to the IRB director, can move the study between the MR and HS boards, as well as to the SBS and ED IRBs. 

Once a submission has been scheduled for review at an IRB meeting, IRB Office staff can reassign the primary or secondary reviewer responsible for conducting the review, should scheduling or other conflicts arise. 

Studies in pre-review are assigned to a specific IRB staff reviewer.  If necessary due to workload, vacations, or any other issue, the IRB director can reassign that study to a different staff reviewer using this activity.

Some studies undergo a facilitated review rather than a full review, for example, studies sent to the NCI CIRB.  IRB staff will record the facilitated review decision using this activity.  This activity moves the study to the "awaiting correspondence" state.

During or after an IRB meeting, IRB staff use this activity to record the outcome of the review (e.g. approved, deferred, etc.).

The first two stomachs of a ruminant comprised of the reticulum and the rumen. A microbial population lives in the rumen and enable the cow to digest dietary fiber. The digesta in the rumen and the reticulum is being exchanged once about every 50 to 60 seconds under the influence of a rhythmic cycle of contraction which also results in passage of some digesta from the reticulum into the omasum through the reticulo-omasal orifice.

The second stomach of a ruminant in which folds of the mucous membrane form hexagonal cells. Also called honeycomb stomach. The reticulum is joined to the omasum by the reticulo-omasal orifice.

Reviewer Notes are notes made in an application by IRB staff. Reviewer notes labeled IRB Question require a response from the study team. Only IRB staff can create Reviewer Notes in ARROW.

If new information comes to light, or changes are made such that a previously exempted study no longer meets the criteria for exemption, the IRB director may revoke the exemption.  This moves the exemption to the "closed" state.

This is an activity in ARROW that allows the IRB staff reviewer to schedule a submission for an upcoming IRB meeting.  Once the IRB staff reviewer schedules the submission for a meeting, the submission moves to the IRB Pre-Meeting state. 

This is a state in ARROW.  Studies in this state must undergo review by the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research Scientific Review Committee (ICTR SRC), the UW Cancer Center Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC) or the Clinical and Translational Research Core  Protocol Implementation Review (CTRC PIR) before moving on to the IRB Pre-Review state.

An abbreviation for the role of the Scientific Review committee.  Scientific Review Committee activities can only be executed by their respective coordinators.

The movement of a material from one place to another. Secretion is often required to move a material to the place where it can be excreted. Examples of materials secreted include all materials excreted (see Excretion above), plus enzymes, hormones and saliva. The organs that play a role in secretion include all those involved in excretion, plus the digestive glands like salivary glands, pancreas, liver and gallbladder and endocrine glands like the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, and ovaries and testes.

The IRB Submission Manager reviews all new submissions to ARROW for completeness and any other administrative concerns (incorrect/missing documentation,etc.).  Any identified issues are sent from the submission manager to the study team via this activity.

This is an activity in ARROW that allows the IRB staff reviewer to send a change of protocol for an exemption to an ancillary review committee.  For example, if an exemption initially required VA R&D Committee review and a change is being made to the exemption, the IRB staff reviewer could send the change to the VA R&D Committee for review.

This is an activity in ARROW that allows the IRB staff reviewer to send issues, including reviewer notes, requests for modifications and clarifications, to the study team to address.  This is a transitional activity that moves a submission to the Issues Pending state.

This is an activity in ARROW in the Exemption Granted state.  This activity allows the IRB staff reviewer to send a revised exemption determination to the study team.

This is an activity in ARROW that allows the IRB staff reviewer to send full board review applications to ancillary committees for review.  All ancillary committee approvals must be in place before scheduling for IRB meeting can occur. 

This is an activity in ARROW that allows the IRB staff reviewer to send modifications made by the study team to an IRB member to review.  This is a transitional activity that moves a submission from the IRB Review of Modification Response to the IRB Member Modification Review state.

This is an activity in ARROW that allows the PI or POC to send an application back to the Pre-Submission state from the Withdrawn state. For example, the PI withdrew an application from the IRB review process and now wants to start the submission process again using the previously withdrawn application.

This is an activity in ARROW that allows the IRB submission manager to send a submission to Preliminary Review Session (PRS) review. Once the IRB submission manager executes this activity, the submission moves to the PRS review state.

(a) Any of the cells of a plant or animal except the reproductive cells. (b) Milk somatic cells are primarily leukocytes (white blood cells) and some epithelial cells shed from the lining of the mammary gland. The leukocytes are derived from blood and consist of macrophages, lymphocytes, and polymorphonuclear cells, primarily neutrophils (PMN). Normal milk does contain somatic cells, and the concentration of these cells is almost always less than 100,000 cells/ml in milk from uninfected/uninflamed mammary quarters.

The probability that a test is negative, given that the animal does not have the disease (see also sensitivity).

A ring-like muscle that maintains constriction of a bodily passage or orifice and opens upon relaxation.

Standard deviation (SD) is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. If the data points are further from the mean, there is higher deviation within the data set. The SD shares the same unit as the mean. The SD is calculated as the square root of variance by determining the variation between each data point relative to the mean. The symbol for standard deviation is σ (the Greek letter sigma). Approximately, in a normal distribution,
38% of all observations are within ± 0.5 SD units of the mean;
68% of all observations are within ± 1 SD units of the mean;
95% of all observations are within ± 2 SD units of the mean;
99% of all observations are within ± 3 SDunits of the mean.
