description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Our primary objective was to determine the demographic and linguistic characteristics of research coordinators (RCs) in a large pediatric emergency medicine research collaborative network. Our secondary objective was to determine if the RCs perceived any impact of those characteristics on their duties. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted a 15-question electronic survey of RCs at the member institutions of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN). A total of 74 potential respondents were identified and received the survey. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Fifty-three surveys (71.6%) were completed. Most respondents identified as female; white; and not Hispanic or Latino. Fourteen respondents (26.4%) identified as underrepresented minorities in medicine (UIM), which is similar to the percentage of UIM among the general population (30%). Twenty-eight respondents (52%) felt that their race/ethnicity positively impacted recruitment efforts. Twenty-three respondents (43%) felt that their ability to speak a language other than English positively impacted recruitment efforts. Four female respondents felt that their gender hindered their recruitment activities and impacted their sense of belonging within the research team. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: RCs felt that their backgrounds and attributes positively impacted subject recruitment. However, some female coordinators felt negatively impacted by their gender. Increasing diversity amongst clinical research professionals and incorporating team cultural humility practices, may help increase diversity among clinical research subjects.
