3151 It all starts with a dialogue – Stimulating Engaged Research Opportunities through Stakeholder-Academic Resource Panel (ShARPs)

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The foci of this evaluation is to:. determine if cultural and contextual adaptations identified by community stakeholders via ShARP sessions change research design/implementation/dissemination strategies. examine changes in stakeholder engagement by the research team after the initial ShARP session. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: CCH staff measured session effectiveness for multiple stakeholders at multiple time points. Researchers and community stakeholders completed surveys to assess process and function at the end of the session. CCH staff follow-up with researcher team members approximately 12-18 months after the session to assess longer term outcomes and changes resulting from stakeholder input gathered at the ShARP. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS:. 16 ShARPs sessions were hosted in a three year period. o 4 hosted in Spanish o 2 focused solely on youth populations. 141 stakeholders representing diverse professional backgrounds participated in sessions and represented a cross section of: o Ages: 12- 17 (5%); 18-24 (6%); 25-34 (24%); 35-44 (23%); 45-54 (12%); 55-64 (9%); 65 and older (13%); No Response (8%) o Gender Identities: Female (62%); Male (34%); Transgender (0%); No Response (4%) o Race/Ethnicities: Asian, Pacific Islander (13%); African American/Black (28%); Hispanic/Latino/x (25%); Native Americans, First Nations, American Indian (0%); Caucasian/White (24%); Multiracial (2%); No Response (9%). Feedback from research teams (aggregate of Strongly Agreed/Agreed responses) o ShARP panel was made up of relevant stakeholders (97%) o ShARP session was worthwhile (100%) o Stakeholder input will improve my research project (100%) o I would engage stakeholders in future projects (40%). Feedback from community stakeholders (aggregate of Strongly Agreed/Agreed responses) o ShARP session worthwhile (89%) o I have an increased understanding of research after participating in this session (89%) o Based on the experience, would consider providing input on a research study in the future (90%) o This session was the first time I was asked to provide input on a research study (46%) DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Preliminary results indicate engaging stakeholders in research can provide cultural and contextual adaptations that increase research relevance and feasibility in any phase of research. Conversely, stakeholders indicated an increased understanding of research. This poster will feature stakeholder and researcher perspectives. Increas
