191 Integrating workforce development programs through Smartsheet: A centralized portfolio for training, tracking, and impact in translational science

Objectives/Goals: To develop and implement a centralized Smartsheet-based portfolio to streamline data collection, coordination, and reporting of NJ ACTS Workforce Development programs, improving efficiency, transparency, and alignment with CTSA translational science goals. Methods/Study Population: NJ ACTS Workforce Development programs, including digital badges, seminars, workshops, and internships, were mapped into a unified Smartsheet platform. Program participation, training metrics, and milestone data were integrated through automated workflows and real-time dashboards, enabling seamless tracking and analysis. Data collection templates and standardized reporting tools were co-designed with program managers to ensure consistency across domains. Continuous user feedback informed iterative refinements to improve usability and data integrity. Results/Anticipated Results: Early results of the Smartsheet portfolio have reduced administrative workload, standardized reporting, and enhanced transparency across programs. Real-time dashboards now track learner progress, completion rates, and cross-program engagement. Early adoption indicates improved collaboration among stakeholders and stronger alignment with CTSA goals and performance metrics. Anticipated outcomes include sustained efficiency gains, improved accountability, and scalable use across institutional partners. Discussion/Significance of Impact: A centralized Smartsheet platform supports coordinated management of training initiatives, enabling data-driven decision-making, continuous improvement, and replicable models for translational workforce development across the CTSA consortium.
