Description:
<jats:p>OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The training needs of clinical & translational scientists are evolving. Implementation of new curriculum content requires assessment of need, fit with current curriculum, incentives and barriers to implementation. We used implementation science methods to plan the implementation of a dissemination and implementation science training toolkit. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Tufts Clinical & Translational Science (CTS) Graduate Program is the training core of the Tufts CTSI and its associated TL1. To assess barriers and facilitators to implementing the University of Washington’s Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science Toolkit for TL1 Programs into the Tufts CTS Graduate Program, we used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). We developed an interview guide based on CFIR constructs or categories of factors that might influence implementation of the D&I Toolkit and interviewed 8 stakeholders including leadership, trainees and faculty. We compared D&I Toolkit content to the current curriculum on stakeholder engagement (SE) and research study quality improvement (QI) to identify how the D&I Toolkit could be adapted to fit trainee and program needs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Stakeholder interviews and review of the current curriculum identified facilitators and barriers to implementing the D&I Toolkit in the Tufts CTS Graduate Program. The program has a strong SE focus and fosters the use of research study QI methods. Interviews identified student and faculty desire to implement the D&I content yet time constraints and overlap with the current curriculum were identified. The following plan to adapt the D&I Toolkit content to fit contextual factors was developed and executed: 1. Adapt didactic content to fit into a 90-min session. 2. Highlight the synergy between the current SE curriculum and the role of stakeholders in D&I science. 3. Modify course materials to highlight examples of disseminating local research results. 4. Limit the experiential learning component to a SE plan. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: TL1 training programs must balance competing demands in selecting curriculum content. The CFIR framework was used to systematically assess implementation barriers by engaging program faculty, students and leaders to identify implementation strategies. This process could be useful when evaluating the addition of other educational content.</jats:p>
