Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2023
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Association for Clinical and Translational Science (ACTS) offers important inter-institutional communities through Special Interest Groups (SIGs). New to the SIG ecosystem is the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) SIG. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Formed in 2022, the JEDI SIG is a growing community of individuals seeking to develop papers and products relating to improving health equity and workforce diversity within the Translational Science Community. Within this context, diversity is broadly defined to include groups at a negative power differential within US society. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Comprised of 54 individuals spanning 29 institutions as of our first meeting in October 2022, the JEDI SIG is a welcoming group for ACTS members looking to make a difference. We have developed working groups to develop SIG-directed projects, and we look forward to expanding our activities in the future. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: In this poster we will share key information about the new JEDI SIG including monthly meeting times, current activities, and ideas for future work.
