OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in adults aged 25–64 years. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy is projected to increase 4-fold by 2050. Racial and ethnic minorities have a higher prevalence and greater severity of diabetic retinopathy. Over 50% of racial and ethnic minorities are not screened for diabetic retinopathy per guidelines. With timely diagnosis and sight-saving treatment, blindness from diabetic retinopathy is largely preventable. The objective of this study is to identify racial and ethnic disparities in the population that do not know they have diabetic retinopathy and to compare those disparities to those in the population that do know they have diabetic retinopathy. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Specifically, we have identified a nationally representative survey and clinical examination data to estimate the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy, to identify racial and ethnic disparities in that population, and to compare those disparities in the population with known diabetic retinopathy. We hypothesize that racial and ethnic disparities will be higher in the population with undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy in comparison to the population with known diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We hypothesize that racial and ethnic disparities will be higher in the population with undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy in comparison to the population with known diabetic retinopathy. The results of that analysis will instruct qualitative interviews that will advance the understanding of the factors that contribute to the decision whether to be screened for diabetic retinopathy. A decision tree will be created to categorize the hierarchy of barriers and facilitators. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: A better understanding of the population with undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy and the factors that influence the decision to get screened will help us not only to address disparities in diabetic retinopathy, but also to prevent blindness from retinopathy.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Penn instituted a Professional Development Core (PDC) to complement existing CTS education programs. Sessions were designed to advance participant knowledge and skills in key competency areas including communication, expectation setting, implicit bias and organizational structure, self-efficacy and resilience in order to enhance abilities to successfully execute career and research goals. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The PDC enrolled 4 cohorts totaling 87 trainees and scholars from 2016-2019. This included 35% predoctoral trainees (27 MD, 3 PhD), 39% postdoctoral trainees (29 MD, 3 PhD, 2 VMD/DVM), and 26% junior faculty (16 MD, 6 MD/PhD, 1 PhD). The two-year curriculum consists of 14 lunchtime sessions held bimonthly during academic terms. Session structures include a variety of interactive presentations, activities and facilitated discussions as well as reading material, assessment tools, and case studies. Facilitators include topic experts in academia, entrepreneurship, communications, and professional and personal development. The program is evaluated qualitatively through student satisfaction surveys after each session. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Of the 2018-2019 participants, 90.8% rated the overall quality of PDC sessions as Very Good (56.05%) or Outstanding (34.75%). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Feedback indicates that the group benefited from combining predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees, although not all content was immediately relevant to early stage trainees. Trainees appreciated the opportunity to engage with experts in disciplines typically considered outside of traditional science but critical to CTS career success. The flexibility of the curriculum allowed for inclusion of timely topics, newer suites of sessions focus on the multiple dimensions of valuing your science.

CTSI Career Development Award (KL2) programs provide junior faculty with protected time and multidisciplinary, mentored research training in clinical and translational science research. The KL2 Visiting Scholars Program was developed to promote collaborative cross-CTSA training, leverage academic strengths at host CTSAs, and support the career development of participating scholars through experiential training and the development of new partnerships. This manuscript provides a detailed programmatic description and reports outcomes from post-visit and outcomes surveys. Since 2016, 12 scholars have completed the program, with 6 scheduled to complete it in 2021. Post-visit surveys (n = 12) indicate all scholars reported the program valuable to career development, 11 reported benefit for research development, and 11 expansion of collaborative networks. Outcomes surveys (n = 11) revealed subsequent scholar interaction with host institution faculty for 10 scholars, 2 collaborative grant submissions (1 funded), 2 planned grant submissions, 1 published collaborative manuscript, and 3 planned manuscript/abstract submissions. The Visiting Scholars Program is a cost- and time-efficient program that leverages the academic strengths of CTSAs. The program enhanced KL2 scholar training by expanding their professional portfolio, promoting research development, and expanding collaborative networks. Resources to support the program are shared in this report to expedite the development of similar programs at regional and national levels.

The African American population of Buffalo, New York experiences striking race-based health disparities due to adverse social determinants of health. A team of community leaders and university faculty determined that a community dialogue was needed to focus research and advocacy on the root causes of these disparities. In response, we organized the annual Igniting Hope conference series that has become the premier conference on health disparities in the region. The series, now supported by an R13 conference grant from NCATS, has been held four times (2018–2021) and has attracted community members, community leaders, university faculty, and trainees. The agenda includes talks by national leaders and breakout/working groups that led to a new state law that has reduced disproportionate traffic-ticketing and drivers' license suspensions in Black neighborhoods; mitigation of the disproportionate COVID-19 fatalities in Black communities; and the launching of a university-supported institute. We describe the key elements of success for a conference series designed by a community–university partnership to catalyze initiatives that are having an impact on social determinants of health in Buffalo.

The prioritization of English language in clinical research is a barrier to translational science. We explored promising practices to advance the inclusion of people who speak languages other than English in research conducted within and supported by NIH Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs. Key informant interviews were conducted with representatives (n = 24) from CTSA hubs (n = 17). Purposive sampling was used to identify CTSA hubs focused on language inclusion. Hubs electing to participate were interviewed via Zoom. Thematic analysis was performed to analyze interview transcripts. We report on strategies employed by hubs to advance linguistic inclusion and influence institutional change that were identified. Strategies ranged from translations, development of culturally relevant materials and consultations to policies and procedural changes and workforce initiatives. An existing framework was adapted to conceptualize hub strategies. Language justice is paramount to bringing more effective treatments to all people more quickly. Inclusion will require institutional transformation and CTSA hubs are well positioned to catalyze change.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Recommendations for increasing trainee productivity will be highlighted. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Using a combination of qualitative (interview) and quantitative (publications tracking) data, we undertook to describe the hurdles and concerns impeding academic accomplishments among T and K awardees at one CTSA hub and to examine whether hurdles at 6 months would predict academic output within one year following completion of the training program. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 trainees (28 TL1 and 8 KL2) 6 months into their training. Interview transcripts were analyzed using Atlas.ti to identify hurdles (factors that had already impeded research progress) and concerns (future challenges anticipated by the trainee). PubMed searches yielded the number of publications within one year of exiting the training program. Frequencies of hurdles and concerns were examined to characterize the factors most likely to impact trainee progress during the first 6 months of their training program. Among 18 trainees who had completed their training, the mean number of publications within one year of exiting the program (identified via verified PubMed searches) was compared across the total number of hurdles reported at 6 months (range = 0 to 3). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The thematic analysis yielded 19 categories of hurdles and 14 categories of concerns. The top three hurdles were technological challenges (e.g., issues with equipment or data reduction; reported by 63% of trainees), professional competing responsibilities (40%), and navigating collaborations (30%). The top three concerns were future funding (33%), potential as an independent researcher (27%), and institutional context (e.g., departmental structure; 23%). The number of hurdles reported at 6 months significantly predicted number of publications one year post-exit (F (3,14) = 3.14, p < .05). Trainees reporting zero hurdles generated a mean of 8.67 publications; those with 3 hurdles generated a mean of 2.4 publications. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Future concerns were completely different from past hurdles, suggesting that the issues impeding research progress are not anticipated. Results suggest trainees would benefit from training related to how to balance competing professional responsibilities and navigate collaborations and that early attention to hurdles may enhance productivity.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Approximately 10% of COVID-19 patients experience multiple symptoms weeks and months after the acute phase of infection. Our goal was to use advanced machine learning methods to identify PASC phenotypes based on their symptom profiles, and their association with critical adverse outcomes, with the goal of designing future targeted interventions. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Data. All COVID-19 outpatients from 12 University of Minnesota hospitals and 60 clinics. Independent variables consisted of 20 CDC-defined PASC symptoms extracted from clinical notes using NLP. Covariates included demographics, and outcomes included New Psychological Diagnostic Evaluation, and Number of PASC Hospital Visits (>=5). Cases (n=3235) consisted of patients with at least one symptom, and controls (n=3034) consisted of patients with no symptoms. Method. (1) Used bipartite network analysis and modularity maximization to identify patient-symptom biclusters. (2) Used multivariable logistic regression (adjusted for demographics and corrected through Bonferroni) to measure the odds ratio of each patient bicluster to adverse outcomes, compared to controls, and to each of the other biclusters. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The analysis identified 6 PASC phenotypes (http://www.skbhavnani.com/DIVA/Images/Fig-1-PASC-Network.jpg), which was statistically significant compared to 1000 random permutations of the data (PASC=.31, Random Median=.27, z=11, P<.01). Three of the clusters (Cluster-1, Cluster-4, and Cluster-5 encircled with ovals in Fig. 1) contained CNS-related symptoms, which had statistically significant risk for one or both of the adverse outcomes. For example, Cluster-1 with critical CNS symptoms (depression, insomnia, anxiety, brain-fog/difficulty-thinking), had a significantly higher OR compared to the controls for New Psychological Diagnostic Evaluation (OR=6.6, CI=4.9-9.1, P-corr<.001), in addition to having a significantly higher ORs for the same outcome compared to all the other clusters. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The results identified distinct PASC phenotypes based on symptom profiles, with three of them related to CNS symptoms, each of which had significantly higher risk for specific adverse outcomes compared to controls. We will test whether these phenotypes replicate in the N3C data, and explore their translation into triage and treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of a junior faculty mentoring program on change in confidence in key academic skills. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Department of Medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center enrolled 33 mentees over three years (2015-2018) in a mentoring program that consisted of monthly interactive seminars focused on topics related to building academic careers, works-in-progress, and pairing of each mentee with a mentor. Mentees were asked about their confidence in key academic skills prior to and after completing the program. Confidence levels were assessed on a seven point scale, ranging from 1 (weak) to 7 (strong). Mean confidence levels were compared between pre and post surveys using independent samples t-test. Matching was not accounted for because not all individuals who completed the pre survey also completed the post survey and vice-versa. Of those mentees who completed both pre and post surveys, confidence scores were analyzed using Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test, with similar results to those reported here. Each mentoring session was evaluated by those in attendance at the end of each particular session with possible scores of 1 (unsatisfactory) to 5 (excellent). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: On average the mentees had a fair level of confidence in all nine areas assessed at baseline, with the exception of how to get funding (2.4 ± 1.7). Confidence increased in all areas assessed, and except for how to write a paper (p=.05) all represented a significant increase in confidence (Table 1). Evaluations of each of the mentoring sessions were high, with mean values ranging from 4.3 to 4.9 on the five point scale. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This mentoring program significantly improved mentees’ confidence in identifying their own professional values and goals, as well as knowing how to turn education into scholarship, work with a mentor, integrate work and life, and give a presentation.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: (1) Determine person (sex, age, education level), environment (marital status, living alone, insurance), and health and illness (BMI, type of AF, comorbidities) characteristics that are associated with outcomes (QOL, symptom severity, and emotional and functional status). (2) Determine the association of symptom management strategies (ablation, cardioversion, and rate and rhythm control medications) and outcomes (QOL, symptom severity, and emotional and functional status). (3) Test person (sex, age, and education level) and environment (marital status, living alone, insurance) characteristics as moderators of the effect of symptom management strategies (ablation, cardioversion, and rate and rhythm control medications) on outcomes (QOL, symptom severity, and emotional and functional status). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: AF patients (≥18 years of age) already enrolled in the PaTH study will be included. To date, 1026 total participants have been enrolled. Based on the enrolled participants, 92% (945) of our study population are Caucasian and 36% (362) are female. The age range of the enrolled participants is: 2% (16) 18−39, 4% (42) 40−49, 11% (108) 50−59, 33% (343) 60−69, 34% (353) 70−79, and 16% (162) 80+. Participants are recruited through in-person, email, phone, patient portal messaging and post mail techniques to ensure a representative sample. The PaTH study integrates electronic health record and insurance claims data with patient-reported outcome measures collected through online surveys. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We hypothesize that sex, older age, low education level, living alone, absence of partner, absence of insurance coverage, high BMI, and a high number of comorbidities will be associated with lower QOL, high symptom severity, and low emotional and functional status. We further hypothesize that symptom management strategies will be associated with higher QOL, low symptom severity, and high emotional and functional status, and that these associations will be moderated by person and environment characteristics. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The proposed research is an important first step in determining potential causes of person and environment differences in symptom severity. It will lead to tailored symptom management interventions for individuals most at risk for experiencing high symptom severity.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Several studies compare perioperative parameters and postoperative morphology of open cranial vault remodeling (CVR) and endoscopic-assisted craniectomy (EAC) in the treatment of sagittal craniosynostosis. However, data on neurodevelopmental outcomes comparing these techniques is lacking. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Patients with repaired sagittal synostosis were enrolled from a single tertiary care center between five and fifteen years of age. Patients with any craniofacial syndrome (e.g., 22q11.2 deletion) or other medical conditions that could affect neurodevelopment were excluded. Neurodevelopment was measured using the Differential Ability Scale-II (DAS-II). The General Cognitive Ability (GCA) score was the primary outcome measure, describing overall intellectual ability. Secondary outcome measures were measurements of cephalic index (CI) from pre- and postoperative imaging studies. Family socioeconomic status (SES) was estimated using the Hollingshead index (total score, continuous). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 26 patients [10 CVR (2 Female:8 Male), 16 EAC (6 F:10 M)] were studied. Mean age at repair was greater with CVR than EAC (15.5 ± 8.5 months vs 3.5 ± 1.3 months, respectively, p < 0.001). Mean age at DAS-II testing was 9.0 ± 2.2 years. Patients GCA scores were within the average range relative to test norms (CVR 95.7 ± 15.4 vs EAC 102.6 ± 17.4). After adjusting for SES and preoperative CI, group differences in GCA were modest and statistically nonsignificant (p = 0.646). GCA scores were associated with SES (p = 0.054) but not preop CI (p = 0.479). Differences between CVR and EAC were not statistically significant for any of the imaging parameters (pre and postop CI, pre to postop change in CI, or age at postop imaging; 0.131 <= p <= 0.867). None of the independent variables were significantly associated with postop CI (0.140 <= p <= 0.689). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Interim analysis of the preliminary data suggests no association between surgical procedure and cognitive and morphological outcomes at school-age in patients with sagittal craniosynostosis who underwent CVR versus EAC. Collection of data continues, with the goal to enroll 50 participants in each group by 2022.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Aim 1—estimate prevalence and associated characteristics of nonfatal, non-self-inflicted strangulation among women ages 18 and older who presented to a US emergency department between 2006 and 2013. Aim 2—explore care-seeking behaviors, the context of the care seeking, treatment expectations and perceived diagnosis in a sample of women ages 18 and older who present to a US emergency department and report being strangled by an intimate partner. Aim 3—merge and synthesize findings from both the quantitative and qualitative strands to provide a more complete understanding of post-strangulation emergency care of women. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This mixed-methods study will use a convergent parallel design, with a single phase of concurrent and independent data collection. Analysis of quantitative and qualitative data will be performed separately then compared, with main findings integrated during the interpretation phase and presented in a merged data analysis display. IRB review and approval will be obtained before initiating this study. Aim 1 will include a cross-sectional analysis of 2006–2013 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) data, from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP). NEDS is the US’s largest all-payer emergency department (ED) database, providing national estimates of hospital-based ED visits from ~120 to 135 million ED visits/year (weighted). For this study, we will examine data from patients meeting inclusion criteria with an International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM; Medicode, 1996) code of strangulation. For this strand, females aged 18 years or older who presented to a US emergency department between 2006 and 2013 will be included. The outcome variable will be non-fatal, non-self-inflicted strangulation, defined using at least one of the ICD-9-CM codes for strangulation. These codes are: 994.7 (“asphyxiation and strangulation”), E963 (“assault by hanging and strangulation”), E983.8 (“strangulation or suffocation by other specified means undetermined whether accidentally or purposely inflicted”), and E983.9 (“strangulation or suffocation by unspecified means undetermined whether accidentally or purposely inflicted”). Patients with a concurrent ICD-9-CM code for suicide attempt (E953, “Suicide and self-inflicted injury by hanging, strangulation and suffocation”) will be excluded, to minimize self-inflicted assault events. Aim 2 will employ a narrative descriptive approach, with semistructured individual interviews to gather more information about women’s experiences when engaging the health care system after being strangled. Medical records related to the strangulation event will also be reviewed for diagnostic codes and other nursing and/or medical notes that may relate to diagnoses, treatment and referrals. For this strand, women aged 18 years or older who present for care to an urban, academic ED will be recruited, purposely sampling those reporting strangulation as a reason for their visit. We anticipate interviewing ~20–30 women to achieve saturation of information. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Data from the NEDS from 2006 to 2013 will be analyzed for prevalence and associated characteristics of women seeking care after being strangled. Individual interviews and medical record reviews of a small sample of adult women will be conducted to explore women’s in-depth experiences within the health care system. Results from both the quantitative and qualitative analyses will then be collectively compared and interpreted to better synthesize the evidence from this work. Convergent and divergent findings will be presented in a merged data analysis display (Creswell and Plano Clark, 2011). Qualitative data will be used to fill the knowledge gap remaining from the quantitative analysis, and to explain and contextualize some of the findings. Such integration will help expand the current limited evidence on care of strangled women, and will identify additional research questions that will guide future research in this area. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: To our knowledge, this study will be the first to explore this issue using a nationally representative sample of adult women who sought emergency medical care for strangulation analyzed in conjunction with a detailed qualitative analysis of strangled women’s experiences with the health care system. The resulting knowledge will be critical to informing clinical assessment, intervention and prevention efforts for this vulnerable population, as well as public policy and future research regarding this specific violence tactic.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: UNC-Chapel Hill’s CTSA implemented a community feedback session (CFS) service to help researchers gather actionable, authentic, and constructive feedback on their projects from community experts. Simultaneously, we conducted an ongoing, participatory evaluation process to improve the experience for researchers and community members. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Informed by the Community Engagement Studio model (Yoosten, 2015), a CFS is a 2-hour consultative session that includes facilitated discussion with community experts around topics or questions posed by a research team. UNC-Chapel Hill’s CTSA staff conducted 7 CFSs during the pilot phase of the service and collected evaluation surveys from researchers and community experts. We held a data party – a participatory evaluation method – to analyze and interpret survey data. Resulting recommendations were used to improve CFS materials and processes. We conducted 11 CFSs after the pilot phase, then analyzed survey data again to gauge improvement and make further adjustments to the service. We also surveyed researchers three months after their last CFS to assess the impact of community experts’ feedback on their studies. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Since January 2022, 108 community experts have participated in 18 CFSs spanning 9 research projects. Data party interpretations of pilot evaluation data yielded several changes in service delivery; since those changes were instituted, all researchers have highly rated the service, unanimously recommending it to colleagues. Researchers praised well-structured sessions and productive engagement, citing direct benefits to their work and significant impact on recruitment processes 3 months post CFS. Community experts also echoed satisfaction, with 100% finding CFSs worthwhile and 95% desiring to participate again, emphasizing the sessions' supportive atmosphere. A community expert reported that the sessions 'made me feel seen and allowed for a greater understanding of what I have been dealing with.' DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The CFS model allows research teams to elicit rapid and meaningful community input, which is key to improving research relevance and impact. Ongoing participatory evaluation of the service ensures continuous improvement, yielding more meaningful interactions and studies that reflect the perspectives of people affected by the research.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Stress is amplified in parents of children with Down syndrome (DS). However, little is known about caregivers’use of coping strategies in relation to stress-related eating and their child with DS. The purpose of this study is to explore stressors and coping resources that increase or decrease stress-related eating among caregivers of children with DS. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This descriptive qualitative study sought to understand and describe the lived experiences of caregivers of children with DS. Fifteen caregivers of children, ages 2-6-years with DS, completed an online survey and individual interview. The Transactional Model of Stress and Coping was used to develop the interview guide and to assess related constructs using the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Salzburg Stress Eating Scale (SSES), and a subscale of the Eating and Appraisal Due to Emotions and Stress Questionnaire (EADES). Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, coded using NVivo 12, and analyzed using deductive thematic analysis based on theoretical constructs and content analysis approaches. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Thirteen of the 15 participants reported moderate to high perceived stress on the PSS. Stressors identified by caregivers included caring for a child with DS, feeding difficulties, physical and mental health, family and social interactions, and finances. Caregivers utilized various interpersonal resources to cope, including family, friends, and social media groups. In the interviews, stress-related eating was revealed as a coping mechanism for 9 caregivers. Also, 13 caregivers reported eating more or eating less when stressed on the SSES and 7 caregivers reported increased emotional eating as measured on the sub-scale of the MEQ. Only two caregivers described using mindfulness strategies throughout the interview. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Overall, caregivers of children with DS report increased perceived stress related to their role as a caregiver of a child with DS, which may be related to changes in caregivers’dietary intake. Dietary interventions developed for these families should include mindful eating and stress management strategies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Caregivers often identify signs of autism in infancy but face multiple barriers when seeking specialized evaluations and subsequent services. This study sought to understand the experiences of families with early developmental concerns to identify acceptable and feasible strategies to support them during this period of uncertainty. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We interviewed 15 families participating in a larger longitudinal project developing telehealth assessments for infants with early developmental concerns. Interviews were conducted virtually following the final toddler-age assessment, and focused on caregivers’ experiences navigating early concerns, appropriateness of existing supports, and suggestions for future directions. Interviews were transcribed and coded across multiple passes, focusing on both phenomenological experience and frequency of specific supports mentioned. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Core themes expressed across multiple included: (1) Uncertainty; (2) Navigating Supports; (3) Community and Connection; and (4) Information is Power. Caregivers also provided specific suggestions for addressing these areas. These included suggestions for parent coaching topics, modalities for sharing information with parents (e.g., group meetings, online modules), and research practices. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: There have been recent efforts to develop pre-diagnostic interventions for infants, but few studies have investigated the needs and priorities of families during this period. Our approach can help bridge the gap between research and practice by identifying family priorities to target when developing interventions.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of the mentored writing workgroup developed at The CCTS at the Rockefeller University (CCTS RU) was to promote scholarship among clinical research nurses (CRN). The goal was to publish and/or present their projects at national professional association meetings. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A two-part writing workshop was presented at RU in December 2018 and January 2019. Members of the RU nursing staff and CRNs from local institutions were invited to attend. Twenty-four CRNs participated in the workshops. The first workshop focused on the writing process, styles of writing and how to get started. The second concentrated on components of a manuscript, categories of papers, selection of the journal, and communications with the editorial team. After the workshops, the CRNs from RU was offered the opportunity to participate in the mentored writing workgroup. To participate, the CRN had to agree to attend scheduled writing meetings and submit written work for each session. The scheduled submission of written materials ensured the CRN was committed to completing their manuscripts or presentations. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Three CRNs from RU participated in the writing workgroup. Two papers were accepted for publication, and one manuscript is under-review, two abstracts accepted by an international professional organization, and two presentations conducted at an area nursing school and medical center. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: A mentored writing workgroup wherein participants commit to attend writing meetings and to submit written materials in a scheduled-matter can promote scholarship. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DESCRIPTION: NA.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The Duke Multidisciplinary Education and Research in Translational Science (MERITS) program was introduced with the goal of providing education and resources to faculty and trainees who are involved in translational research. However, the definition of what translational science is and entails can be widely variable, even within a single institution or department, which creates difficulties in appropriate dissemination of information regarding translational resources and assistance. This objective of this study was thus to obtain baseline information and views of translational science from a pilot population of Duke faculty. Based on data collected in a previous focus group, we expected to observe a lack of consensus regarding the definition and inclusion principles of translational science. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A digital survey was distributed to Duke Department of Surgery faculty regarding translational science, including opinions on definition, impacts, experienced barriers, known resources, and future training preferences. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Ninety-five total responses were obtained, with 79.3% of respondents identifying their work as translational. There was no consensus on the precise definition of translational science, although the majority of respondents reported similar essential elements including multidisciplinary science and transitioning between investigative stages. Respondents noted that translational science increased their job satisfaction and recognition in their field, but also stated that they had experienced barriers to translational science. These barriers were primarily funding (56.4%) or lack of training (38.2%) related. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The results of our pilot survey suggest that the MERITS program should focus on training investigators on the resources available for translational investigations and expound upon how it fits into and enhances their current and future research endeavors.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Regardless of their career choices, today’s biomedical researchers need to blend great science with core skills ininnovation and entrepreneurship (I&E). The objective of this NIH-funded education program was to develop and test a pragmatic training program to teach relevant I&E skills. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We used a modified Delphi approach to identify 15 relevant competencies for I&E and the essential topics to include in the program. Learner interviews identified preferences for online training programs (short, high-quality audio-visual content, ability to self-navigate, peer and instructor interactions). The inaugural program included 7 short, online courses that addressed how to identify and validate opportunities for innovation, sell your innovation to diverse audiences, assess its ethical consequences, work in teams, and develop resilience as an innovator. It also included mentor support, a team-based capstone project, and an optional in-person boot camp. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 51 students enrolled and 41 participants from 9 institutions completed the program, including pre- and post-doctoral students and junior faculty. They organized into 10 teams to complete the capstone project, with 6 teams pitching their innovation to fellow students and mentors at the boot camp. Students rated satisfaction with courses highly overall, with 79% stating they would be disappointed if the program was no longer available. Preliminary results suggest participants increased their knowledge about and ability to perform tasks taught throughout the program. Suggestions for improvement included providing more practical advice and real-world examples to complement educational videos. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The inaugural E4B program was well received and effective in increasing I&E skills. Improvements will include increased opportunity for mentor interactions and for advanced entrepreneurial training. The program is open for biomedical research trainees from all institutions with a CTSA award.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: This effort will ultimately improve both human and community health and translational science by showing the impact of CTR services on different types of projects that meet overall CTR missions and aims. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: CTRs seek to advance translational research to generate clinical, healthcare delivery, policy and community benefits. We conducted retrospective case studies for selected funded Pilot Projects for the Great Plains IDeA-CTR, focusing on facilitators and barriers to research translation and contrasting community-engaged and other proposals. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We analyzed 8 CTR-funded projects (4 community-engaged (CE) projects and 4 other pilot awards) focusing on outcome domains of the Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM): Clinical, Economic, Policy and Community Benefits as endpoints of successful research translation. We adapted an existing TSBM case study template for use with data required by NIH/NGIMS to map progress toward one or more TSBM outcomes. Using email, we posed three brief open-ended questions to investigators: 1) challenges/ barriers for the project; 2) how the CTR helped move research along and (how it could have moved it further); and 3) how research is progressing and how it could progress further. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: All investigators reported the CTR advanced their project. Non-CE projects appeared to have a more straightforward trajectory, with 2 investigators reporting no challenges and 2 reporting solely institution-internal ones. In contrast, the 4 CE projects reported both benefit from the engagement of the CTR (most prominently the efforts of the community advisory board (CAB) and community liaisons). Yet, they also reported some challenges beyond the CTR’s ability to address, including delays in securing community buy-in and community buy-in of the investigator’s research approach. Some barriers appeared beyond the CTR’s current immediate ability to provide support to advance the project. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Findings contribute to efficient approaches for retrospective case studies and emerging information on challenges and opportunities for CE projects. The study will help identify: 1) intermediate milestones and timelines for different projects; 2) advance data for TBSM endpoints; and 3) CTR activities that leverage the translational process.
