description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To identify insights and challenges in community engaged research for the academy and community. To develop an online platform to match academic and community partners; promote networking; and provision of key resources. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using a human-centered design approach, 19 interviews were conducted with academics, community organizations and members, and other CTSAs. The interviews focused on understanding CEnR challenges and processes in partnership formation. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Findings revealed the following 10 challenges to and insights about CEnR: (1) time intensive; (2) lack of knowledge; (3) differing motivations; (4) connections occur through networking; (5) topic area, proximity, and readiness influence partnerships; (6) organizational turnover; (7) promotion pressure; (8) collaboration throughout; (9) navigator for partnership; and (10) lack of shared language. Also, a CEnR system flowchart revealed the following five phases of an effective partnership: 1) generating interest; 2) learning process; 3) connecting with the right partner; 4). Defining the research question; and 5) implementing research as a partnership. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: In conclusion, input from academicians and community members support the need for an online platform like M-REACH to facilitate CEnR partnerships, networking, and resources to address significant public health issues through translational research.
