OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Our purpose is to promote traffic toward the NJ ACTS Regulatory Cores recently launched website and increase investigator engagement through marketing strategies on LinkedIn. Landscaping to characterize the profiles of researchers on LinkedIn was also completed to estimate the feasibility of engaging with a target population on LinkedIn. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Insight gathering was performed to analyze what percentage of researchers possessed a LinkedIn profile and actively used their accounts. A sample population consisting of 284 NJ ACTS members were analyzed to summarize the type of researchers on LinkedIn, and their likelihood of responding to LinkedIn marketing campaigns. Efforts to launch a company LinkedIn page and collect followers were completed. Different methods of promotion were evaluated, including direct vs. mass email outreach to over 600+ researchers at Rutgers. Effectiveness of our platform was measured by comparing/overlaying Regulatory website traffic with LinkedIn traffic, as well as tracking the metrics of LinkedIn posts. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Among 284 NJ ACTS members, 76% (n=215) possess a LinkedIn profile, but only 21% (n=59) are actively interacting with material on LinkedIn, such as creating, commenting, or sharing posts. Among the NJ ACTS LinkedIn users, 27% of individuals (n=57/215) responded to a direct outreach. Retention of the created organizational page was strong, as most users who visited the Regulatory Core page were likely to become followers. Massive email outreach to 600+ researchers within RBHS did not yield a strong LinkedIn following, however it did result in strong signals of website traffic during the days after the promotion was sent. Engagement with posts on LinkedIn can also be amplified and messaging proliferated when colleagues reshare Regulatory posts on their personal feeds. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: 3/4 of academic researchers are likely to be on LinkedIn but may not be active users of the platform. The most effective outreach is through direct messaging as opposed to broader, less individualized tactics (including mass email outreach). Evidence suggests potential to utilize LinkedIn to proactively engage in regulatory-related activities.
