Abstract

Abstract : OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The New Jersey Alliance for Clinical & Translational Science conducted an observational study of current clinical research training to establish a comprehensive infrastructure. The goal was to develop a cross training catalogue of available resources for trainees to fill gaps in their Clinical Research training. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The focus of this observational study is the evaluation of (1) available clinical research training programs, (2) training areas aligned with the Joint Task Force competency domains, (3) specific target audiences who utilize trainings offered nationally, and (4) availability of resource toolboxes. This assessment was extracted by clicking on each of the hubs Education & Training and Resources tabs. The determination of the training areas and competency skills that aligned with the JTFs eight domains was confirmed by reviewing the course description on each website. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: CTSA hub website analysis of each hub revealed that each CTSA hub region has their own regional focus on training areas targeted for specific audiences. The validation of the NJ ACTS Education and Offering Inventory study allowed authors to categorize available training programs which significantly showed that Basic Training Programs targeted 22% of Undergraduate Students, Community Engagement Training Programs targeted 15% of Early Career Faculty, Experiential Training targeted 20% of Early Career Faculty and Undergraduate Students, Scholarly & Certificate Training targeted 20.5% of Graduate Students, and Graduate/Post Graduate Programs targeted 22.5% of Graduate Students and KL2 scholars. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This information helps build the infrastructure of a National Cross-Training Resource Platform in aid to encourage trainees to take advantage of available trainings across the CTSA Consortium.
