444 Team Science Competencies for Clinical Research Professionals: Determining Skills and Leveling Through a Modified Delphi Approach

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Team science competencies are not well-defined for nonfaculty staff of Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) who conduct research. Using an existing framework, our work has determined skills associated with team science competencies as related to CRPs. Our team also outlined examp...

description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Team science competencies are not well-defined for nonfaculty staff of Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) who conduct research. Using an existing framework, our work has determined skills associated with team science competencies as related to CRPs. Our team also outlined examples of those skills on a fundamental, skilled, and advanced level. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The team consists of both CRPs and those working in the Team Science space. This team used a modified Delphi approach to determine the skills and leveling examples of each team science competency. The team broke into four groups and was assigned 3-4 competencies each. Each group determined skills needed to support (exhibit, promote) each competency and then described an example of this skill at the fundamental, skilled, and advanced levels. Once each group was finished with their assigned competencies, they were re-assigned to a different group for review and changes. Finally, team science and CRP experts reviewed the skills and levels. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our results are a rubric that defines 3-5 practical skills per described competency. These skills are needed to support and promote each competency as a CRP. An additional outcome from this work includes examples of each skill at the fundamental, skilled, and advanced levels in a CRP’s career. Each leveled example is described in a concise, actionable way using Bloom’s taxonomy. This rubric is meant to be easily understood, very useable and able to be used in conjunction with existing CRP competency frameworks. By using Bloom’s taxonomy, we set the stage for future educational programming in Team Science skill-building for clinical research professionals. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Team science concepts and competencies have been increasingly integrated into translational science teams. However, team science competencies related to CRPs have remained largely undefined. Our work helps to define these competencies for CRPs in a practical way. Our rubric fills gaps in, and builds on, existing CRP competency frameworks.
