OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science (NJ ACTS) interest in developing a comprehensive education and training program for enhancing the quality, efficacy, and safety of the clinical research enterprise led to the release of a survey distributed nationwide to assess initiatives in the translational science workforce. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Twenty-one hubs responded to the survey and data was exported from REDCap to Excel. Respondent demographics were categorized to formalize roles and data was categorically divided into sections based on training type (engagement, basic, postgraduate etc…) utilizing conditional formatting. The limitation in this survey was a branching logic defect aligned with questions on competency tool usage and the roles that they play which led to only six hubs having the advantage to respond to all questions. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Summary findings showed that the majority of respondents for the survey (30%) were the Director of Operations’. Further; the Joint Task Force (JTF) domain Scientific Concepts and Research Design’ was the most preferred Hard Skill (81%) while the least preferred was Investigational Product Development and Regulation’ (29%). In spite of only six hubs receiving the short competency assessment; 50% of those hubs stated they would utilize ‘In House Assessment Tools’ and 83% stated they used the tools to ‘Develop Personalized Training Plans’. The assessment of this Inventory was indeed necessary to identify trends in available trainings across the CTSA consortium. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The internal cross training catalogue will help to develop an infrastructure for the NJ ACTS community to work along with other CTSA hubs while creating comprehensive clinical research training initiatives and programs.
