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.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Full Spectrum Town Halls (FSTH) were organized to bring together patients, scientists, clinicians, advocates and others interested in Hidradenitis Suppurative (HS) – stakeholders across the spectrum of translational research – to infuse patient experiences and voices into designing HS research METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Rockefeller University (RU), Clinical Directors Network (CDN), and the HS Foundation organized three hybrid in-person/online HS FSTHs (2018-2023). The 2018 event focused on patients, describing the current state of HS knowledge and new research into HS biology (T2, T3). Patients shared lived experiences in testimonials and a panel discussion. Advocates described community and mental health resources (T4). The 2021 event returned research results (T2, T3) to the community and updates about treatments in the pipeline (T4). The 2023 FSTH targeted clinicians (T4) addressing a critical translational gap in HS care and presenting best practices in diagnosis, surgical, and medical treatments. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Impact on science: FSTH attendees joined a Community Engagement Studio providing feedback used to refine study variables/procedures. Attendees joined research studies that advanced understanding HS mechanisms of disease, clinical course and treatment.Impact on patient experience: Participants appreciated having a forum to hear/share experiences of shame, mistrust, misdiagnosis and hope. Feedback improved practices for privacy, consenting, and returning study results. Impact on clinical practice and care: FSTH raised awareness of stigma, need for respect and empathy, and advanced learning about in disease mechanisms, effective biologics, importance of epithelial tunnels and surgical care. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: HS is a stigmatizing, poorly understood disease. FSTHs fostered bidirectional learning among scientists, clinicians, patients and other stakeholders. Patients engaged with researchers to improve research design and participate in mechanistic and therapeutic clinical research, advancing the field.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: A new mandate for Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA) Programs is for pilot grant funding to support clinical and translational science (CTS) projects that study challenges in the translational research pipeline. This pivot requires new structures and supports to help investigators design and implement high-quality CTS projects. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) at the University of Michigan (U-M) has launched two rounds of pilot funding since March 2023. Faculty and staff across U-M’s three campuses, community members, and those at collaborating institutions and hospitals were eligible to apply. New pre-award supports included a CTS project framework; a recorded webinar that educated about CTS and the funding opportunity; office hours to provide tailored project feedback; a letter of intent to screen for alignment with CTS; and reviewer training for academic and community reviewers. Funded projects operate like 'mini cooperative agreements”, with MICHR experts partnering with awardees to refine evaluation plans, prepare work products, advise on dissemination, and navigate emergent challenges. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The first round of funding was launched in the absence of pre-award supports; ten applications we received from faculty proposing translational research rather than CTS. We quickly re-released the FOA, expanding eligibility to staff. We received nine applications, ultimately funding four staff and one faculty studying operational challenges in translation and helping them create robust evaluation plans. We piloted the pre-award supports in our second round, with 40 individuals viewing our webinar and 11 attending office hours. Those who watched the webinar before attending office hours better understood how to embed CTS questions within their programs of research. We recently received 19 letters of intent, addressing both operational and scientific challenges, with 16 eligible to submit applications. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Education and personalized feedback seem to elicit a higher yield of CTS projects. Staff are already adept at solving operational challenges, so the pre-award supports were most critical for faculty accustomed to writing traditional translational research proposals. Staff have most benefited from guidance in evaluation and dissemination.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The proposed study aims to improve physical and mental health outcomes among Hispanic older adults who live alone in a low-income San Juan, Puerto Rico community through weekly PA groups. Specific outcomes include measures of loneliness, social isolation, depression, physical mobility, metabolic indicators, and other health indicators. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Data will be collected at three time points: Pre (Week 1), Mid (Week 6), and Post (Week 12) intervention. Currently, the community has 50 residents over 65 years old who live under the poverty index and receive multiple social benefits. Various tools will be implemented to measure loneliness (University of California Los Angeles – Loneliness Scale-10 items), social isolation (Lubben Social Network Scale-6 items), depression (Geriatric Depression Scale-10 items), physical mobility (Time Up and Go Test), metabolic health indicators (hemoglobin A1c and glucose) and other health indicators (i.e., blood pressure, cholesterol, as well as body mass index (BMI)). These measurements will determine if participation in PA groups is associated with improvement of the variables measured. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: It is expected that the baseline scores of older Hispanic adults in terms of loneliness, social isolation, depression, physical mobility, metabolic indicators (i.e., cholesterol level and hemoglobin A1c), and other health indicators (blood pressure or BP and BMI) will be lower compared to those after participation in the Physical Activity Program. More frequent participation will be associated with more significant improvement in measured variables. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Results from this study will determine the effectiveness of community-based PA interventions in addressing loneliness, social isolation, depression, physical mobility, and metabolic factors (hemoglobin A1c and glucose) in elderly minority Hispanic populations as a means of improving their health outcomes and quality of life.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: There is a need to develop a workforce of translational research professionals with the skills to innovate, mobilize, and commercialize research for unmet needs in the Canadian health system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact and value of the master’s degree on the Translational Research Program (TRP) alumni. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This study will use a cross-sectional approach and an electronic survey will be administered to alumni. The TRP was established in 2015 and has graduated over 150 students since its inception. Participants will be recruited through convenience sampling via email, social media platforms, and personal communication. Eligible participants must have a conferred Master of Health Science in Translational Research from the University of Toronto. All collected data will remain anonymous and include demographic information about graduation year, race, ethnicity, gender, and employment status. Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze and report the findings. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The results of this survey will be used to evaluate how the TRP graduate degree helps alumni contribute to healthcare, learn to think differently, and establish their professional networks. The findings will also be used to inform curriculum improvements, enhance competency-based assessments, and understand demographic differences in student cohorts to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion. Investigating the perspectives of alumni reflecting on their degree will support validating the program’s objectives and advance the integration of translational science principles in the healthcare workforce and community. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This research addresses the need to evaluate health sciences education to ensure the program’s novel pedagogical approaches are equipping the next generation of health professionals with the skills to accelerate the transformation of discoveries into interventions that benefit human health, improve clinical medicine, and enhance patient care.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Characterizing and analyzing research studies presents several challenges given the various ways studies may be labeled or organized. The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus is a hierarchical vocabulary that can index and organize research foci using common business intelligence tools to enable rapid exploration of research portfolios. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Metadata from ClinicalTrials.gov on 455,437 trials were downloaded and all MeSH terms associated with trials in the condition_browse section were loaded into a database. The corresponding MeSH trees for each term were then identified and mapped to their ancestor terms within the tree. Trials were then indexed based on top four hierarchical levels for each associated MeSH term. Trials performed at the University of Miami (UM) were identified based on locations associated with the trial as well as matching National Clinical Trial (NCT) numbers identified from internal research administration systems. Business intelligence software (Microsoft PowerBI) was applied to the corresponding dataset to enable end user exploration and analysis of the trials within ClinicalTrials.gov. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 3,271 studies associated with UM were identified, of which, 3,054 (93.3%) had at least one condition MeSH term linked. A total of 7,711 MeSH terms were associated with the trials overall, representing 1,112 unique MeSH terms; the most common terms were carcinoma (164), lymphoma (155), HIV Infections (139), neoplasms (136), and leukemia (122). Utilizing MeSH hierarchy, trials were characterized were categorized into 36 different trees. The most common top tree nodes were neoplasms (1,181), followed by pathological conditions/signs and symptoms (913), immune system diseases (574), nervous system diseases (513), and digestive system diseases (483). Within trees, a total of 184, 681, and 1057 different MeSH terms were specified at the second, third, and fourth nodes in the hierarchy respectively. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Utilizing existing metadata from trials posted on ClinicalTrials.gov and MeSH tree structures can enable organizations to readily explore the foci of clinical trials research. High rates of MeSH term association to research study conditions are necessary to ensure adequate representation of research foci.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Load sharing across the arc of knee flexion of the medial knee ligaments (MKLs) is not well understood. The goal of this research is to characterize ligament engagement and in-situ force within the deep and superficial medial collateral ligament (dMCL, sMCL) and the posterior oblique ligament (POL) in response to externally applied multiplanar loads. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Ten human cadaveric knees, 5 male and 5 female, age 32±7 (25-42) [mean±SD (range min-max)] years, were mounted to a force sensor and a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. Knee kinematics, before and after serial dissection of the sMCL, dMCL, and POL, were recorded from 0-30 degrees during applied isolated external rotation, valgus angulation, and anterior tibial moments, and the force (Newtons, N) borne by each structure was measured via the principle of superposition. Loads in the dMCL, sMCL, and POL will be compared across each knee and at each flexion angle with paired t-tests and repeated-measures analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc testing. Ten knees will provide >99% power to detect differences of 5N ± 3% at p=0.05, which is considered the threshold for clinically meaningful force differences. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our anticipated results include characterization of the means and standard deviations of the in-situ forces within the dMCL, sMCL, and POL in response to externally applied valgus angulation, tibial external rotation, and anterior-directed tibial loading at 0, 15, and 30 degrees of knee flexion. Our statistical analysis will determine if there are clinically meaningful differences (5N ± 3%) in the loads within each ligament at different knee flexion angles and will also provide data regarding differential relative ligament engagement for each applied force scenario, which is an indication of the percentage of contribution that each structure contributes to knee stability during application of forces and torques to the knee. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Data on ligament engagement and in-situ forces will help clinicians better diagnose potentially injured ligaments when they observe pathological knee laxity in an injured patient. Our results will also inform future computer modeling studies on injury mechanisms, individual anatomical variability, and surgical planning.

Our statistical analysis will determine if there are clinically meaningful differences (5N ± 3%) in the loads within each ligament at different knee flexion angles and will also provide data regarding differential relative ligament engagement for each applied force scenario, which is an indication of the percentage of contribution that each structure contributes to knee stability during application of forces and torques to the knee. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Data on ligament engagement and in-situ forces will help clinicians better diagnose potentially injured ligaments when they observe pathological knee laxity in an injured patient. Our results will also inform future computer modeling studies on injury mechanisms, individual anatomical variability, and surgical planning.","PeriodicalId":508693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Translational Science","volume":"381 1","pages":"129 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140758196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Non-operative management is preferred for pediatric solid organ injury (SOI). Despite this children treated at adult trauma centers (ATC) are more likely to be treated surgically and have worse outcomes than those treated at pediatric trauma centers (PTC). We hypothesize there are disparities by sex and race in management of pediatric SOI at ATC vs PTC. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Retrospective review of the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) from 2010-2018 was conducted. Inclusion criteria were age£18 and injury to spleen, liver or kidney. Outcomes at American College of Surgeons accredited ATC, PTC, and combined ATC/PTC trauma centers were evaluated. The primary outcome was operative management. Secondary outcomes include length of stay, and in-hospital complications. Multivariate logistical regression adjusting for race, sex, and insurance type will be performed. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 40,111 children were treated for SOI from 2010-2018. 39.3% were treated at an ATC and 26.4% at a PTC. Of children treated at an ATC, 62% were White, 17% were Black, and 1% were Asian. Children treated at the PTC were 60% White, 20% Black, and 0.9% Asian. Primary insurance type was Medicaid for 33% of patients at an ATC and 39% at PTC. Median length of stay at ATC and PTC was 4 days (2-7) and 3 days (2-6) respectively. 3.85% of patients at ATC underwent splenectomy compared to 0.8% at PTC. It is anticipated that further analysis will demonstrate that ICU admission, transfusion, embolectomy, and other operative interventions will be more prevalent at ATC than MTC. Moreover, we anticipate that multivariate logistical regression will show the odds of receiving operative management at each center differ by race, sex and insurance type. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Initial analysis of the NTDB from 2010-2018 shows that children treated for SOI at ATC receive operative interventions more often than those treated at PTC. Elucidating disparities in SOI care is an important step towards minimizing the impact of these disparities and better allocating resources such that they may be eliminated.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Impaired vascular function, a subclinical marker of cardiovascular disease, has been identified in prediabetes. Dietary nitrate supplementation has been shown to improve vascular function. However, this has not been studied in prediabetes. The purpose was to determine the effects of dietary nitrate on vascular function in prediabetes. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Five individuals with prediabetes (4 men, 1 woman; 55 ± 17 yr; HbA1c = 5.8 ± 0.2) participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeated measures study. Participants were randomly assigned to a 3-day nitrate supplementation (nitrate-rich beetroot juice, 12.9 mmol, 140 mL), or a placebo supplementation (nitrate-depleted beetroot juice, 0.05 mmol, 140 mL). Following supplementation, participants reported to the lab for measures of vascular function in the lower limb. Doppler ultrasonography was used to measure flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (RH) of the superficial femoral artery in response to a 5-min bout of leg ischemia. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: FMD did not differ between the nitrate-rich (2.87 ± 2.01%) and placebo (2.24 ± 1.69%) conditions (p = 0.48; d = 0.35). Furthermore, peak RH did not differ between the nitrate-rich (1503 ± 443 ml/min) and placebo (1762 ± 414 ml/min) conditions (p = 0.36; d = 0.46). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: These preliminary results suggest that dietary nitrate supplementation in the form of beetroot juice does not improve vascular function in individuals with prediabetes.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: In a collaborative effort with Toronto Community Housing (TCH), West Toronto Ontario Health Team (WTOHT), and our translational research team, we seek to increase the availability and long-term use of mental health care services through an in-building Wellness Hub for underserved tenants residing in a medical desert, 100 High Park Avenue. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In our pilot study, we will use an evaluative framework based on resident feedback to gauge the effectiveness of wellness hub implementation. We will examine both survey results, information from key stakeholder conversation and final interview data from the resident participants. Post wellness hub implementation we will inquire about various aspects of their experience in residence related to the main pillars of our project, including the presence of key wellness resources, accessibility of resources, effectiveness of those resources. Qualitative data management softwares results from the semi-structured interview will be coded and analyzed to extract themes and relevant changes throughout and after intervention implementation. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The anticipated project results would be based on the following research question findings: How might we develop and integrate accessible mental health services through the wellness hubs for tenants at 100 High Park Avenue to improve the long-term follow-through of their care? The primary outcome of this project would be collective improvement in mental health of tenants at TCH 100 High Park Avenue. Qualitative evidence in the form of semi-structured interviews of tenants at baseline and after wellness hub implementation are expected to indicate an improvement in their mental health. Secondary outcomes for tenants include fewer incidences of feeling unsafe, reduced drug dependency, and improved community cohesion. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: A wellness hub will foster well-being and resilience among residents, ultimately enhancing their overall quality of life and community cohesion. Furthermore, the wellness hub model could be scaled across 2,100 TCHC buildings and other metropolitan cities facing similar crisis i.e. New York.
