487 Collaboration Planning & Research Jams: Evaluating feasibility, usability, and effectiveness of implementing Team Science interventions across 13 CTSA hubs

Objectives/Goals: Team Science is an essential element of Clinical and Translational Research (CTR), and a Translational Science Principle key for generating innovation. As CTSA hubs work to improve the practice of CTR through Translational Science, many seek evidence-based interventions from the field of the Science of Team Science to make teamwork more impactful. Methods/Study Population: Two evidence-informed Team Science interventions were offered to CTSA hubs for implementation and evaluation: Collaboration Planning 12 implemented at least one session by the end of the project. Four CTSAs signed up to implement Research Jams; all implemented at least one session. Implementers, CTSA-based Team Science leaders, received training in intervention delivery. We collected pre-/post-implementation survey data on feasibility and usability of the interventions, as well as post-training satisfaction. We also collected post-implementation data to capture implementers’ experience in delivering the interventions. Further, participants in each intervention were surveyed about their experience. Results/Anticipated Results: Implementers agreed that the interventions were feasible and usable, while sharing challenges they encountered. Key challenges included limited buy-in from leadership and teams and the need for better marketing about the benefits of participation to increase uptake. Scheduling busy researchers was also a challenge. Implementers noted that the interventions aligned with their CTSA’s Team Science goals and would help them provide additional support to teams. CP participants reported increases in understanding about their team processes and found the intervention to be both valuable and useful. Suggested improvements included longer, more personalized sessions. RJ participants agreed that RJs were helpful in surfacing shared ideas and requested additional resources to move the work forward post-session. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Team Science interventions can provide CTR teams with strategies that improve the conduct of CTR, while also serving the needs of CTSA-based Team Science leaders in facilitating more efficient and effective Team Science. Our data show the feasibility of implementing such interventions by providing training delivering team-based interventions.
