132 Modernizing Onboarding for Clinical Research Professionals: An Interactive and Adoptable Approach

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Clinical Research Professionals (CRP) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) identified and addressed gaps in a static on boarding material by transforming it into an interactive, centralized, and customizable REDCap checklist to better meet researcher needs across the institution. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The CRP On boarding Checklist is a tool designed to assist clinical researchers in their onboarding process at CCHMC. This tool helps CRPs determine the required/recommended trainings available to assist with skill-building and establishing job role competency. CRP supervisorsand subject matter experts were included incontent revisions, format, and transition to a RED Capsurvey. The new checklist is interactive, targets training requirements by job function, and clearly labels mandatory training. A companion document allows new CRPs to create and track their own individualized training plan. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The revised CRP On boarding Checklist was launched in April 2022 and announced via email communication. Alive demonstration was presented to all CRPs during the May 2022 CRP Monthly Meeting. The checklist and companion document are linked to the internal CRP website, which is accessible institutionally. Sincelaunch, almost 100 new and internally transferring CRPs have utilized the online tool to guide their training needs. The checklist is intended to reflect real-time changes in educational offerings. In addition to feedback and change requests from the CRP community, the checklist is updated as necessary and routinely reviewed on a biannual basisby the CRP Education Committee. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The creation and maintenance of the CRP Onboarding Checklist is a modern and accessible way for CRPs and supervisors to explore role-applicable training and take active roles in the on boarding process. The RED Capformat allows easy sharing and adoptability to other institutions via data dictionary.
