description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: CEnR plays a crucial role in rapidly translating science to improve health by bridging gaps between research and practice although skills development is critical to enable successful community/academic partnerships. We have developed a curriculum mapped to CEnR domains and competencies that meets the needs of community partners and investigators. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We located three comprehensive efforts to identify CEnR domains and competencies that we aligned to develop our curriculum, which we then mapped to these competencies. The first was undertaken by a NCATS Joint Workgroup which identified curricula, resources, tools, strategies, and models for innovative training programs. Using Competency Mapping, they developed a framework for curriculum mapping that included eight domains, each with two to five competencies of knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The second aligned CEnR competencies with online training resources across the CTSA consortium, while the third focused on Dissemination and Implementation training. Informed by a conceptual model to advance health equity, we adapted and integrated these frameworks into a set of six educational modules. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Although many CEnR training programs have been developed, few curricula are mapped to identified domains and competencies, and fewer still address institutional and community barriers to effective CEnR training. However, many outstanding curricula effectively address these competencies, and our curriculum draws from and builds upon these programs of excellence, including those from our sister CTSA hubs. Our modules serve our local community by educating and empowering faculty, students, and community partners. To date, no CEnR curriculum has been implemented at our institution that meets the needs of all parties who play a significant role in community-engaged research (e.g., IRB members, investigators, and community-based partners). This curriculum thus fills an important gap in our workforce training. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This educational program is designed to educate and empower investigators, trainees, students, and community partners to engage in effective CEnR that promotes community projects and fosters relationships and trust. Following evaluation, we will offer the curriculum for use by others interested in using or adapting it for their own programming.
