OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Frontiers CTSI developed applications to ensure its science teams have technological tools to advance their community engagement and trial management. The Trial Finder app is a mobile application that allows users to navigate available trials. The Accrual app will help study teams monitor their recruitment performances in real time. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Data Science team at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) had previously developed similar applications for The University of Kansas Cancer Center. Both retrieve information from KUMC’s clinical trial management system and ClinicalTrials.gov. This was replicated to include KUMC Pulmonary Critical Care (PCC) and KUMC Neuromuscular (NM) trials. Frontiers CTSI is working with both groups for piloting and feedback. Recruiting and marketing strategies for investigators to add their trials to both apps will be done through existing communication channels and be highlighted on Frontiers trial resource website. Recruiting and marketing strategies of the Frontiers Trial Finder app to the external community will have a focus on, but not limited to, paid social media advertising. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The Trial Finder app can help providers search for trials their patient may be eligible for during clinic visits and to engage with the community by allowing anyone to download and browse on their Android/iOS device. Built in REDCap forms are used to capture contact information. The Accrual app is a web-based application that helps study teams monitor their recruitment performances in real time and provide an opportunity to adjust strategies. It uses an in-house algorithm to predict if trials will meet timeline goals. This data is conveniently laid out on a single web page so that science teams can overview all their trials’ recruitment performances simultaneously. The next phase of developing these applications is to market their use within Frontiers CTSI and its community catchment area. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Through collaboration, Frontiers CTSI is developing resources to support community engagement and trial management. New innovative applications like these ensure all the main stakeholders involved with clinical trial execution are always engaged and have access to iterative contemporary technologies that support their research.
