description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The objective is to describe the process for developing two measurement tools to measure confidence (self-efficacy) of the anti-racist advocate in an academic setting. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We proposed five spheres encountered by the academic trainees: Academic/Research, Clinical, Policy, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. We evaluated a book, by Shereen Daniels, used in anti-racism literature: The Anti-Racist Organization - Dismantling Systemic Racism in the Workplace. Using the proposed metric of RACE framework, Recognize the problem, Analyze the impact, Commit to action, Empower for change, we sought to establish readiness on the spectrum of anti-racism advocacy. We developed a list of anti-racism and anti-bias advocacy skills based on: 1) Informational interviews with anti-racism and anti-bias experts, 2) Scoping literature review and 3) Academic trainees’ and faculty lived experience. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The first assessment, “5-Spheres”, consists of 10 items that perform, 1) Analysis of readiness on the spectrum of anti-racism advocacy using RACE framework (Figure 1 [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A3nMArEn7ZSxZSuSgDkYl_row-VOhOXf/view?usp=drive_link]), 2) Assessment of workplace environment. The second assessment, “Skills”, consists of 25 items (Figure 2 [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GTdfSgn0-mPu-flSUVSN-vIKTxBCkFW3/view?usp=drive_link]) that perform assessment of confidence of specific skills within each of the five spheres using the following scale: 1 – Not confident at all, 2 – Lacking some confidence, 3 – Somewhat confident, 4 – Completely confident DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This proposed measurement tool can extend to anti-bias as well as anti-racism. Potential uses of the self-assessment includes: 1) Measurement and 2) Gap-spotting.
