OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Clinical Research Professionals (CRP) group was founded in 2000 by research managers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) as an avenue to share research processes, ideas, successes, and community. The group has developed and evolved at CCHMC to meet the needs of CRP members. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: CRP has evolved to meet the needs of the clinical research community at CCHMC. In 2008, monthly education meetings and a Research Educator supported a standardized onboarding process. CRP hosted the inaugural CRP Appreciation Day in 2010 to recognize researchers. The group established the CRP Leadership Committee (CRPLC) in 2011 and by 2016 expanded to include subcommittees. Career development opportunities include onsite clinical research certification exams and a centralized process for advancement. CRP updated processes and onboarding materials to electronic formats during the pandemic and now includes nursing, data management, and University of Cincinnati representation on the CRPLC. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The culmination of 20+ years of CRP has led to the current state of CRP at CCHMC. CRP operates an internal website to collate all activities and resources, including educational opportunities and helpful links related to CCHMC research processes. CRP currently has leadership, membership, education, and regulatory committees providing opportunities for all clinical research professionals to join, collaborate, and grow within CCHMC and beyond. Established career pathways and centralized CRP advancement guidelines support career development. The centralized REDCap onboarding tool is accessible at any time for initial onboarding and then continuing education. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The formation and evolution of CRP, developed by work of past CRPs, has fostered an innovative community to meet clinical research needs through education, career development, and process standardization. We aim to continue to disseminate knowledge and lessons learned beyond our institutional walls.
