OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study is to develop a multi-centered Translational Studio model that can help in the development of quality translational studies using resources from four different institutional partners (University of Texas Medical Branch, Texas Southern University, University of Houston Clear Lake and Houston Methodist). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted two rounds of four Futures Workshops for a total participation of 28 stakeholders from four different partners. Future Workshops were used to critique, envision, and articulate novel “futures” that can be achieved at least partly through design practices (Muller, 2002). In the first round of workshops, we asked participants about their institutions’ strengths, weaknesses, resources and investigator needs regarding the Studio. In the second round we asked about different studio models, pros and cons of each model and guiding principles for a studio. Alongside a pragmatic content analysis, multi-stage deductive and inductive qualitative analyses were used to understand people’s views on the future of a multi-institutional Clinical Trials Studio. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The first-round workshops’ analysis described peoples’ goals for what the studio should be. The future desired studio was described as guide, matchmaker, initiator and advocate. The second-round workshops’ analysis discussed the pros and cons of a variety of possible models including, centralized, decentralized, and topic-specific (and allowed other suggestions) while also describing principles for the guidance of a studio. Here the analysis showed people wanted certain characteristics for the studio (i.e. effective, efficient, locally-responsive, consistent, etc.). They also prescribed four principles that a studio should be guided by: non-hierarchical partnership, user-centeredness, respect/collegiality, and sharing. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The future workshops were useful in developing a shared multi-institutional Clinical Trials Studio model that is planned to be deployed in 2025. Participants valued a studio that was both directly supportive to participants and played a role in creating or advocating for institutional resources and policy for research.

Multisector stakeholders, including, community-based organizations, health systems, researchers, policymakers, and commerce, increasingly seek to address health inequities that persist due to structural racism. They require accessible tools to visualize and quantify the prevalence of social drivers of health (SDOH) and correlate them with health to facilitate dialog and action. We developed and deployed a web-based data visualization platform to make health and SDOH data available to the community. We conducted interviews and focus groups among end users of the platform to establish needs and desired platform functionality. The platform displays curated SDOH and de-identified and aggregated local electronic health record data. The resulting Social, Environmental, and Equity Drivers (SEED) Health Atlas integrates SDOH data across multiple constructs, including socioeconomic status, environmental pollution, and built environment. Aggregated health prevalence data on multiple conditions can be visualized in interactive maps. Data can be visualized and downloaded without coding knowledge. Visualizations facilitate an understanding of community health priorities and local health inequities. SEED could facilitate future discussions on improving community health and health equity. SEED provides a promising tool that members of the community and researchers may use in their efforts to improve health equity.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Clinical Research Professionals (CRP) group was founded in 2000 by research managers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) as an avenue to share research processes, ideas, successes, and community. The group has developed and evolved at CCHMC to meet the needs of CRP members. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: CRP has evolved to meet the needs of the clinical research community at CCHMC. In 2008, monthly education meetings and a Research Educator supported a standardized onboarding process. CRP hosted the inaugural CRP Appreciation Day in 2010 to recognize researchers. The group established the CRP Leadership Committee (CRPLC) in 2011 and by 2016 expanded to include subcommittees. Career development opportunities include onsite clinical research certification exams and a centralized process for advancement. CRP updated processes and onboarding materials to electronic formats during the pandemic and now includes nursing, data management, and University of Cincinnati representation on the CRPLC. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The culmination of 20+ years of CRP has led to the current state of CRP at CCHMC. CRP operates an internal website to collate all activities and resources, including educational opportunities and helpful links related to CCHMC research processes. CRP currently has leadership, membership, education, and regulatory committees providing opportunities for all clinical research professionals to join, collaborate, and grow within CCHMC and beyond. Established career pathways and centralized CRP advancement guidelines support career development. The centralized REDCap onboarding tool is accessible at any time for initial onboarding and then continuing education. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The formation and evolution of CRP, developed by work of past CRPs, has fostered an innovative community to meet clinical research needs through education, career development, and process standardization. We aim to continue to disseminate knowledge and lessons learned beyond our institutional walls.

Dyads can be challenging to recruit for research studies, but detailed reporting on strategies employed to recruit adult–adolescent dyads is rare. We describe experiences recruiting adult–youth dyads for a hypertension education intervention comparing recruitment in an emergency department (ED) setting with a school-based community setting. We found more success in recruiting dyads through a school-based model that started with adolescent youth (19 dyads in 7 weeks with < 1 hour recruitment) compared to an ED-based model that started with adults (2 dyads in 17 weeks with 350 hours of recruitment). These findings can benefit future adult–youth dyad recruitment for research studies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: A diverse workforce is an aspiration of CTSIs and embedded in goals to build D&I workforce capacity. However, little research describes the diversity of the current workforce. We assessed current assets, opportunities, and diversity of D&I efforts at Frontiers and characterized investigators and those supported by services offered. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In January 2021, Frontiers convened a working group to identify existing D&I assets and needs in the CTSI multi-state catchment area. The committee catalogued existing training and consultation resources and services, which the CTSI supported with infrastructure to support, track, and evaluate ongoing efforts. We obtained data from the evaluation platform and conducted descriptive analyses of the investigators and service uptake among two programs offered, contrasting the workforce with national data obtained from the American Academy of Medical Colleges (2022) and the National Institutes of Health (2018). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Ninety individuals at 9 institutions across Kansas and Missouri identified as implementation researchers. Since 2022, 28 D&I consultations were provided, 92% for grant applications. Five early-stage investigators were identified for career development in an NIH-supported Health Equity and Implementation Center (ESI). The network mirrors the larger workforce regarding underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities (18%) and new investigators (60%). More women (76%) are represented in the D&I network and among ESIs (80%) than the academic workforce (44%), but significantly fewer women used consultation services (p<0.001). Lower proportions of underrepresented minority investigators (p<0.001) and investigators from disadvantaged statuses (p=0.027) accessed consultations services. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Investigators underrepresented in science on multiple dimensions were less likely to use consulting services, Outreach for consultation services may be necessary, if needs are not being met in other programs. Further exploration of overall D&I workforce trends is needed to ensure goals for the field and the CTSA network are achieved.

The US biomedical research workforce suffers from systemic barriers causing insufficient diversity and perpetuating inequity. To inform programming enhancing graduate program access, we implemented a formative mixed-method study to identify needed supports for program applications and graduate program success. Overall, results indicate value in added supports for understanding application needs, network development, critical thinking, time management, and reading academic/scientific literature. We find selected differences for underrepresented minority (URM) students compared to others, including in the value of psychosocial supports. This work can inform broader efforts to enhance graduate school access and provides foundation for further understanding of URM students’ experiences.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Immediate negative impact of the COVID pandemic on CTSA T trainees and K scholars was reported in 2020 to be lack of access to research facilities, clinics, human subjects, and team members, and a need for homeschooling. In this study we examined in more detail the perceived impact of the COVID pandemic on training and career development three years later. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: CTSA T trainees and K scholars were surveyed in May-June 2023 to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on training and career development. Data were included from 309 T trainees and K scholars appointed in 2018-2023 at 50 institutions, with good representation from states that were heavily impacted by COVID. Respondents included 76 past and 64 current T trainees, and 56 past and 113 current K scholars. There were no significant differences in race, ethnicity, or gender between T and K respondents. Significantly more K scholars reported both being married or in a committed relationship, and having children. Survey items included the same questions asked in the 2020 survey, plus additional new questions. Results compare impact for T trainees and K scholars. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: K scholars were more negatively impacted for access to clinic/human subjects, home environment, child care, access to staff, increased clinical responsibilities, and other hospital service. T trainees and K scholars reported higher positive impact than in 2020, for having more time to think/write and develop new research ideas. About 2/3 of respondents reported returning to research full-time by April 2021, and the remaining by August 2021. Lasting changes in career progression or research direction were reported as both positive and negative (48%), negative (25%), or positive (10%). Most (2/3) respondents in faculty positions reported that a time extension was available for promotion and/or tenure. Additional in-depth analysis will be presented, based on qualitative analysis of open-ended questions. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Despite research shutdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that lasted for about a year, CTSA T trainees and K scholars were remarkably resilient. They were able to continue some research activities and professional development activities, and developed strategies to maintain productivity and minimize impact on their training duration.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs are launching D&I Science cores to provide resources and services to promote the translation of clinical evidence into practice. We developed a D&I Science Core strategic plan reflecting our research community’s needs by assessing Implementation Science (IS) competencies. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Tufts CTSI D&I Science Core was launched in early 2023. To design services that meet research community needs, we conducted a survey and key informant interviews based on Padek etal.’s list of Implementation Science (IS) competencies. The competencies are organized into four domains (Definition, Background, and Rationale; Theory and Approaches; Design & Analysis; and Practice-Based Considerations) and categorized by expertise level (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Participants who had attended or expressed interest in a D&I interest group were asked via an email survey to rate their level of confidence in completing selected IS-related research activities, about their experience with IS research or practice, and the types of resources, services and training they desired. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Twenty researchers (20/65, 31%) submitted survey responses and six researchers participated in in-depth interviews. Survey respondents felt most confident in engaging stakeholders in IS research and least confident selecting a model or framework for a study. Results suggest that researcher capacity building is needed to: • Understand IS models and frameworks and their approaches, strengths, and limitations • Select and use models and frameworks in studies • Assemble IS teams and prepare grant proposals Suggestions for resources, services, and training, include: • Customized education to address diverse needs, knowledge levels, and learning styles • Promotion of D&I Core consultations and grant support services • Sharing of successful proposals to help researchers learn how to apply IS methods DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: A strategic workplan for the D&I Science Core was developed and implemented to address the findings. Initial emphasis is on developing easily accessible resources and timely consultations for investigators new to IS needing to apply these methods in current grant proposals, while also providing training resources for deeper skill building.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This project aims to improve the design of medical technology for global health by addressing gaps in engineering education. Our primary goal is to develop open educational resource’curriculum boosters’ that can be added to existing BME curricula to build skills in transdisciplinary collaboration, practical ethics, and failure resilience. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A phasic mixed-method research strategy has been employed. The Needs Analysis includes a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing knowledge regarding the three conceptual pillars of Transdisciplinary Collaboration, Practical Ethics, and Integrated Resilience. The Behavioral Study includes surveys, interviews, observations, and biometric data collection from working engineers, engineering students, global health stakeholders, and clinicians. The Validation Study will be conducted via small group workshops, a semester-long engineering design course, and a summer study-abroad course. Data collected will be analyzed and used to refine the proposed educational strategies. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The final educational strategies will be structured into 'curriculum boosters' and published as open educational resource materials. The boosters and their supporting data will be made available to other engineering education programs with the goal of promoting widespread adoption and integration of these methods. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The long-term outcome of this ongoing work is to train a new generation of engineers prepared to participate adeptly in the co-design of technological solutions for complex global healthcare challenges by working ‘with, not for,’ clinicians, communities, and other stakeholders in peripheral healthcare settings.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Scientists are increasingly confronted with 'science critical' #_msocom_1 belief systems. The politicization of science fuels hesitancy towards evidence-based therapies. To overcome these barriers, we aim to devise strategies to communicate clinical translational science (CTS) through art. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A two-year pilot artist-in-residency (AIR) program embedded in the Translational Research Immersion Program (TRIP). Since 2009, TRIP contributes to CTS Workforce Development (WD) through a 10-week mentored, curriculum-rich summer undergraduate research experience. Students are recruited from 5 regional institutions, 6 HBCUs, and the University of Puerto Rico. AIR is composed of 3 phases: the “Immersive Phase” where the artist gains intensive exposure to the scientific process through the lived experience of TRIP students, the “Productive Phase” where the artist conceptualizes the process of CTS into works of art, and the “Engagement Phase” where the CTS workforce, artists, and community members coalesce around science-to-art materializations. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In 2022 & 2023 the AIR participated in ~35hrs of CTS research seminars, panel discussions, and professional skills workshops. Additional TRIP student-AIR interaction occurred in focus groups including visits to mentor’s labs. An AIR-led workshop culminated in an Empowering CTS Communication event where TRIP students engaged with community members through elevator pitches of their CTS summer project on a speed-rotating basis. A month-long art-CTS exhibition planned for 3/2024 will feature contributions from AIR, TRIP students, and ITMAT community members. Qualitative insights were that TRIP is an effective art-science incubator, students strengthened their CTS communication skills, art functions as an icebreaker between science and communities with an ocean of opportunities for science education. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: AIR embedded into existing CTS WD programs is proposed as creative approach to strengthen the reputation of science in the public. CTS-informed art functions as connective tissue between public and CTS workforce. The hands-on experience to adopt art as a science communication tool is a powerful soft skill for the next generation of CTS investigators.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Quantitative Staff are an essential workforce for biomedical research. While faculty can engage with peers locally and through national organizations, similar opportunities are limited for staff and often do not meet their unique needs and interests. Creating a professional community is valuable for supporting and developing this workforce. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We established the Quantitative Scientific Staff National Network (QS2N2) with the mission to provide professional development and networking opportunities, and to serve as an information resource and advocate through the fostering of community among staff quantitative analysts at any career stage. The initial membership outreach was to all Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) programs through members of ACTS BERD Special Interest Group (SIG). We created a Leadership Team and an Advisory Board consisting of staff and faculty biostatisticians with experience working as or managing staff to govern the network. A Core Planning Committee consisting of 15 members guides planning, implementation, and execution of network activities as operationalized through subcommittees. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The network currently has 131 members from over 30 health science institutions. Subcommittees focused on Education and Training, Membership, Communication and Web Development, and Mentoring were created and are developing events, programs and infrastructure to further the network’s mission. Network events such as webinars will be offered quarterly; with our first event planned for Nov 3rd. Expansion and maturation of QS2N2 will be done through regular remote meetings where members can connect with peers at other institutions, engage in career development activities, and attend technical seminars. Additional membership outreach will seek to connect with staff in government and private sectors. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Knowledgeable, highly skilled collaborative analysts (e.g., biostatisticians, data scientists) are an essential workforce in clinical and translational science and health research centers.The QS2N2 will support professional development, engagement and growth of this critical workforce which is necessary to advance quality research.

The University of California (UC) Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center has established the “Join the Team” model, a Clinical Research Coordinator workforce pipeline utilizing a community-based approach. The model has been extensively tested at UC Davis and demonstrated to generate a viable pathway for qualified candidates for employment in clinical research. The model combines the following elements: community outreach; professional training materials created by the Association for Clinical Research Professionals and adapted to the local environment; financial support to trainees to encourage ethnic and socioeconomic diversity; and internship/shadowing opportunities. The program is tailored for academic medical centers (AMCs) in recognition of administrative barriers specific to AMCs. UC Davis’s model can be replicated at other locations using information in this article, such as key program features and barriers faced and surmounted. We also discuss innovative theories for future program iterations.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We will reduce the number of research staff by 50% within 6 months that are non-compliant with completing the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) course without increasing costs as measured by salary and benefits for staff involved in the tracking and assignment process. We will also introduce a GCP policy to define the education requirements for GCP training METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We touted focus groups to stakeholders for input on workflows with graphs, surveys, and meetings in the onset and throughout the project. This input prompted us to develop a staff guide outlining the modification process of removing a staff name from an IRB trial if they are no longer active in the trial. A workflow and root cause analysis were done resulting in the implementation of one gatekeeper for assigning and tracking completions, instead of three staff. Successfully reconciling the non-compliant report, which extracted data from three databases, allowed us to eliminate 174 names from the report, which originally comprised 792 names. IRB modifications were entered into the IRB system for these 174 names. We also put into effect a GCP policy for the institution, where none had previously existed. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: * In 3.5 months, we decreased the GCP non-compliance rate by 50% from 792 to 399. * We removed 22% of names from the 792 from the report due to their status of being non-employees, or Emeritus, or not in research anymore. * We discovered a data type issue in the non-compliance report that shuffled the MAX calculation, therefore not requiring some staff to complete the training. * We developed a new process for assigning training, resulting in faster compliance rates for the institution. It included sending emails to users two months before their training expired before we assigned the course to them. * We reconciled the non-compliance report, and it decreased the effort with staff involved in GCP for grant renewals and audits in numerous other departments. * Developed an escalation procedure for non-compliant staff. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Failure to address our GCP non-compliance rates could have put our institution at risk for potential penalties. With 4400+ research personnel listed on active trials the interventions we implemented accelerated our compliance rate by assigning the refresher course monthly and this also resulted in no disruption to staff completing the training.

Engaging diverse partners in each phase of the research process is the gold standard of community-engaged research and adds value to the impact of implementation science. However, partner engagement in dissemination, particularly meaningful involvement in developing peer-reviewed manuscripts, is lacking. The Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control are using the Translational Science Benefits Model to demonstrate the impact of our work beyond traditional metrics, including building capacity and promoting community engagement. This paper presents a case example of one center that has developed a policy for including community partners as coauthors. Standard practices are used to foster clear communications and bidirectional collaboration. Of published papers focused on center infrastructure and implementation research pilots, 92% have community partner coauthors. This includes 21 individuals in roles ranging from physician assistant to medical director to quality manager. Through this intentional experience of co-creation, community partners have strengthened implementation science expertise. Community coauthors have also ensured that data interpretation and dissemination reflect real-world practice environments and offer sustainable strategies for rapid translation to practice improvements. Funders, academic journals, and researchers all have important roles to play in supporting community coauthors as critical thought partners who can help to narrow the gap between research and practice.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of a 1:1 peer-delivered psychosocial support intervention to family caregivers of hospice patients with cancer, and determine a range of potential effects of the intervention on psychological distress symptoms and perceptions of the caregiving experience. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from hospice caregivers of cancer patients who participated in a non-controlled pilot feasibility trial of a 1:1, peer-delivered psychosocial intervention called Peer Caregiver Navigation (PCN). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of delivering PCN to hospice family caregivers of cancer patients, and to determine a range of potential effects of PCN on caregivers’ anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, and benefit finding. Qualitative data were analyzed using deductive thematic analysis. For our study outcomes, we used both parametric and nonparametric t-tests to examine mean differences between outcomes at baseline and midpoint, and baseline and endpoint. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The findings demonstrate that Peer Caregiver Navigation (PCN) is acceptable, appropriate, and feasible to deliver to hospice family caregivers of cancer patients. Appropriateness of our selected target outcomes was determined by confirming expected measurement change in depressive symptoms (lower), anxiety symptoms (lower), benefit finding (higher), and self-efficacy (higher). Exit interviews revealed that participants responded favorably to our selected measures for these outcomes and to our data collection time intervals. Moreover, recruitment and consenting processes, survey completion rates, and attrition outcomes (i.e., study exit due to active withdrawal vs. patient death) were analyzed to inform recruitment and retention feasibility for future studies. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Peer Caregiver Navigation (PCN) was determined to be feasible, acceptable, and appropriate to hospice family caregivers of patients with cancer. Moreover, PCN has the potential to improve caregivers' symptoms of psychological distress by providing them much needed psychoeducation, coping skills training, and emotional support.
