204 Enhancing clinical trials staff professional development with an interactive tool for connecting with role-based training

Objectives/Goals: To improve communication, efficiency, engagement of clinical research workforce by developing a centralized, customizable, and easily accessible curriculum selector tool for role-based onboarding, continuing education, and professional development. Methods/Study Population: We designed aREDCap-based curriculum selector to address training communication gaps within a large academic Learning Health System. The tool catalogs required optional and professional development trainings for varied clinical research roles (e.g., coordinators, regulatory staff, data managers, and PIs). Each role-specific curriculum includes interactive computer-based modules, live courses, job aids, and links to external resources. Research managers can assign curricula, and automated notifications share assignments with staff and stakeholders. Industry standards, input from subject matter experts, and pilot testing guided design, usability, and implementation planning. Results/Anticipated Results: The tool improved awareness and accessibility of training resources, streamlining onboarding and professional development. Early feedback from pilot users indicated improved satisfaction with clarity and customization of assigned training. Managers valued centralized tracking and assignment transparency. We anticipate measurable gains in training completion rates, time efficiency, and staff retention. Future enhancements include expanding to responsible conduct of research and investigator education modules to support enterprise-wide research training coordination. Discussion/Significance of Impact: A centralized, customizable training selector enhances workforce readiness, standardizes education, and reduces inefficiencies in research staff onboarding and development. Broader adoption may strengthen institutional capacity for high-quality, compliant clinical research.
