Objectives/Goals: The University of Illinois Chicago’s CTSA is developing dynamic dashboards to track K awardee outcomes. Integrating data on grants, publications, and milestones, the dashboard illustrates scholars’ research journeys while highlighting the role of the K program in advancing their careers. Methods/Study Population: Since 2007, CCTS has supported over 60 KL2 scholars and affiliates. To track scholar outcomes, the evaluation program has developed Power BI dashboards that visualize scholars’ career trajectories. These dashboards draw on several sources, including publicly available data, institutional records, and FlightTracker. They highlight key career outcomes such as grant awards and peer-reviewed publications since program entry, providing an overview of scholars’ careers while illustrating how they advanced after the program. The dashboards shown continue to evolve. Our current efforts are focused on incorporating impacts from the TSBM and streamlining data collection. Results/Anticipated Results: The dashboards provide a comprehensive and interactive view of KL2 scholars’ career trajectories, illustrating how the K program contributes to research productivity and career advancement. They reveal trends in grant funding, publications, and other key career milestones over time. The dashboards enable us to more easily identify patterns across cohorts, explore individual scholar achievements, and assess broader program impact. Continued refinement of processes in collecting and displaying data, including AI-supported data collection and incorporation of TSBM outcomes, is expected to ensure a more complete picture of the translational impact of K award support. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The dashboards enhance tracking of K awardees by providing a clear, data-driven view of scholar and affiliate outcomes. They can inform program improvements and highlight broad impacts on career development and translational science. This approach may be adopted by other CTSA hubs.
