OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of U-LINK is to bring together diverse scholars from multiple disciplines to address complex and challenging problems in healthcare, climate change, social equity, and community, through innovative team science, and aligned with the University of Miami’s strategic plans. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The U-LINK program has supported developmental and implementation projects through a competitive selection process. Developmental funding was intended for teams to develop and refine ideas and to become established as an effective team. Additional funding was provided to teams to advance their projects by conducting data collection and feasibility testing. In addition, U-LINK has supported fellowship for pre-doctoral and affiliated doctoral trainees. Team science training was provided to all teams through didactic lectures and hands-on training. Teams were tracked longitudinally by using surveys and bibliometrics to measure success and impact including scholarly output and follow on funding. Network analysis was performed to analyze research collaboration networks before and after ULINK funding. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: U-LINK has funded pilot programs and initial phases for 57 projects and 13 fellowships in the last three years. Over 400 individuals on teams from 16 schools/academic units collaborated on these projects on topics such as resilience, climate change, social equity and societal challenges, health, and impact of recent legislation on LGBTQ+ community. While data collection and analysis are ongoing, initial results show successful outcomes from U-LINK projects including publications and $29.5m in follow-on external funding. We anticipate network analysis to demonstrate increased and continued multi-disciplinary collaborations among U-LINK teams through co-authorship networks and increase in collaborative grants being submitted and/or funded. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The University of Miami’s U-LINK program has demonstrated success in forming interdisciplinary teams that have produced real-world solutions to complex problems by harnessing the inherent diversity and strength across UM’s programs.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study aimed to investigate the mechanistic effects of the omega-6-derived eicosanoid 12-HETrE on platelets of cardiovascular patients at risk for a recurrent cardiovascular event triggered by thrombosis. 12-HETrE negatively regulates platelet reactivity through binding to the prostacyclin receptor in platelets. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Healthy donors were recruited from the Ann Arbor community and the University of Michigan Medicine Center. Cardiovascular patients with elevated cardiovascular risk were recruited from the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Michigan Medicine Hospital. All subjects were recruited under study protocols approved by the University of Michigan IRB. Healthy donors were matched with the cardiovascular patients regarding age, sex, race, and BMI. Whole blood was collected via venipuncture into vacutainers containing sodium citrate. Platelets were isolated via serial centrifugation and treated ex vivo with vehicle control, 12-HETrE, or Iloprost. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Based on our previous studies, we chose to treat platelets ex vivo with 25uM of 12-HETrE for 10 minutes. Using platelets of healthy donors, we have shown that treatment with 25uM of 12-HETrE for 10 minutes inhibited platelet aggregation and activation, and activated protein kinase A, suggesting activation of the prostacyclin receptor. We conducted a preliminary study to demonstrate that ex vivo treatment of 12-HETrE regulated signaling pathways in platelets such as cell-to-cell interaction, platelet activation and cytoskeleton rearrangements. In this study, we have demonstrated that treatment with 12-HETrE regulated receptors and intraplatelet proteins in platelets of cardiovascular patients. Furthermore, these proteins are involved in critical pathways in the platelet. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Dual antiplatelet therapy has significantly decreased mortality due to thrombotic events. However, cardiovascular events triggered by thrombosis persist as the leading cause of death in the US. This study may uncover key regulators to be targeted for the long-term goal of providing additional protection to reduce future incidence of thrombosis.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: SLC6A1-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (SLC6A1-NDD) is a leading genetic cause of epilepsy and autism. Haploinsufficiency of SLC6A1 leads to reduced uptake of GABA from the synaptic cleft, and increased extracellular GABA in mice. It is a candidate for gene transfer therapy, but translational read outs are needed. EEG is a promising biomarker. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The SLC6A1-NDD program includes a specialty clinic and prospective cohort study run in parallel with pre-clinical gene therapy development. Characterization and pre-clinical testing of a homozygous knock-out, heterozygous knock-out, and two humanized knock-in models are on-going, including EEG analyses before and after treatment. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SLC6A1-NDD are seen annually in a specialty clinic and a subset participate in the cohort study which collects standardized questionnaires, EEGs, and MR Spectroscopy to measure glutamate and GABA. Gene Therapy Program investigators meet weekly to discuss progress on pre-clinical and clinical trial readiness on SLC6A1-NDD and to align efforts on translational read outs, including EEG, in both humans and the pre-clinical models. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We have enrolled the full cohort of 20 participants in the prospective SLC6A1-NDD cohort study. Preliminary results have shown that all but 1 individual has a history of developmental delay, and 8 of the 24 individuals in our clinical cohort had at least one episode of developmental regression. Over 90% have epilepsy, and 17/20 in the cohort study have intermittent rhythmic delta activity on EEG. The full knock out mice have behavioral and learning deficits and abnormal electrical brain activity on telemetry, including bursts of spike trains, analogous to epileptiform activity seen in humans. Next steps include quantitative analysis of both mouse and human EEG to develop a translational brain-based biomarker. We plan to assess delta power and investigate genotype-phenotype correlations in mice and humans. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: With targeted therapies in development for SLC6A1-NDD, translational biomarkers that demonstrate engagement with the brain are critical. With clinical heterogeneity in SLC6A1-NDD, biomarkers can objectively capture change. Collaborative translational projects may improve efficiency in rare disease research to facilitate early phase trials.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: In 2020, Baylor College of Medicine held a datathon to introduce a data warehouse, identify its capabilities/limitations, foster collaborations, and engage trainees. The event was held again in 2022, and lessons learned (e.g., tools for data self-service or team communication) were applied. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Senior faculty reviewed proposals with an emphasis on feasibility, impact, and relevance to quality improvement or population health. Selected teams worked with Information Technology (IT) for 2 months and presented findings at a 1-day event. Surveys were administered to participants before and after the event to evaluate their background, team characteristics, collaborations, knowledge before and after the datathon, perceived value of the datathon, and plans for future work. Descriptive statistics of respondents’ self-reports were tabulated. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In 2022, 19 of 36 projects were accepted (13/33 in 2020). At both events, most projects studied quality improvement or clinical outcomes. Of 82 participants in 2022, 54 completed surveys. In 2022, 72% had no datathon experience (48% in 2020). Median effort was 10 person-hours; median IT time was 20% (20 and 10%, in 2020). Seven respondents finished and 21 partially finished their projects (1 and 11, in 2020); 92% made new collaborations (91% in 2020). Respondents strongly agreed that: the experience was valuable (n=28), they would participate in future datathons (n=30), and they would use the warehouse for future work (n=25). Twenty-seven have planned abstracts; 25 have planned manuscripts. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The 2022 datathon had more participants with less experience, potentially due to improved promotion and training opportunities. Fewer person-hours and a higher percentage of IT time were required as compared to 2020, and more projects were completed, possibly due to increased IT efficiency.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality, and many patients will develop metastatic disease at some point during their treatment course. Conventional therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are often of limited effectiveness in these advanced stages, which necessitates the development of novel therapies. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Our group has designed an oncolytic adenovirus backbone structure expressing the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) which can be used in conjunction with radioiodine to facilitate cancer imaging and therapy. Using multiple CRC cell lines, oncolytic adenoviruses with different fibers were tested in vitro to determine which of these modifications yielded the highest binding to the cancer cells. Additionally, multiple promoter structures are being tested to determine the impact on the replication and oncolytic effect of the virus. Furthermore, the potential of adenovirus-mediated NIS expression to facilitate PET/CT imaging and therapy with I-131 will be explored. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The Ad5/3 chimeric fiber modification demonstrated the best binding in CRC cell lines. Additionally, tissue specific promoters are employed in oncolytic viruses to confer selective replication in cancer cells, while minimizing off target effects in nearby normal tissues. We have employed a Cox2 promoter, which has demonstrated an excellent oncolytic effect. In vitro NIS expression was shown in multiple CRC cell lines through immunostaining. Small animal PET/CT imaging demonstrated signal uptake in mice with subcutaneous CRC tumors after virus and radioiodine (I-124) administration. We anticipate that future studies employing radioactive iodine (I-131) in combination with our oncolytic virus will yield an augmented antitumor effect. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The NIS-expressing adenovirus has the ability to support radionuclide-based imaging and therapy for CRC. With additional pre-clinical testing, our adenovirus construct has the potential to bring NIS-based therapeutics to the bedside to positively impact CRC patient care outcomes.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer that lacks effective targeted treatment options. TNBC's greater degree of immunogenicity than other breast tumors makes immunotherapy a viable strategy. Strategies to improve the immunotherapy response includes targeting the cGAS-STING innate immune pathway with STING agonists. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We have previously shown in vitro that eribulin, a microtubule destabilizer currently used in the treatment of TNBC, functions as an indirect STING agonist because it promotes the release of mitochondrial DNA into the cytoplasm. Separately, eribulin also significantly enhances type I interferon expression induced by STING agonists measured by qRT-PCR through a second TBK1-dependent mechanism downstream of STING activation through detecting higher amounts of phosphorylated IRF-3 by western blot protein analysis. Mechanisms of eribulin-mediated interferon expression occur in immune and TNBC cells and are shared with other microtubule destabilizers but not with the microtubule stabilizing agent paclitaxel. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We determine that the enhancement of type I interferon expression by eribulin is pharmacologically synergistic with multiple STING agonists. The significant enhancement by eribulin led us to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of eribulin in combination the STING agonist ADU-S100 in a challenging spontaneous mammary tumor model MMTV-PyVT. We show that the combination treatment significantly decreased tumor growth which allowed for longer survival compared to other groups. This is particularly interesting because of our previous studies showing that eribulin alone, but not paclitaxel, promotes the activation of CD4+ T-cells in the spleen and draining lymph nodes of BALB/c mice with 4T1 tumors through flow cytometric analysis. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: These data contribute to accumulating evidence that there are important mechanistic differences between the microtubule targeted chemotherapeutics currently used in the treatment of TNBC and suggest that eribulin can act as an immune adjuvant in addition to its anti-mitotic effect.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study is to examine the incidence, etiology, and outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a 27-county region in SE Minnesota and W Wisconsin between 2010 and 2021. A comparison of the first to second half of the period will be made to look for possible trends. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) is a database of patient records across SE Minnesota and W Wisconsin. Starting in 2010, the REP opened to a 27-county catchment area, which includes over 1.3 million patients with a population coverage of approximately 64%. This study will use the expanded REP data to collect data on patients 20 years of age and older with a new diagnosis of HCC between Jan 1, 2010 and Dec 31, 2021—an estimated 1000 cases. Patients with a record of less than one year of residence in the catchment area will be excluded. Data on etiology, comorbidities, and outcomes of HCC will be extracted from medical records and analyzed for risk factors and changes over time. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate that the overall incidence of HCC in the REP geographic area has increased over the period of 2010 to 2021. We anticipate that the prevalence of hepatitis C virus infection in patients with HCC has between 2010 and 2021, due to the widespread use and accessibility of hepatitis C-specific antiviral treatment over the past decade. We anticipate that the prevalence of NAFLD in patients with HCC has increased between 2010 and 2021. We do not anticipate significant changes in treatment modality or survival outcomes over this period. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This study will provide a comprehensive update on the state, etiology, and outcomes of HCC in the area surrounding Rochester, MN. We will be able to track changes in risk factors over time and work to enhance screening protocols to target the most vulnerable populations.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The characterization of the zebrafish as an animal model for Cockayne Syndrome may guide us towards role of Transcription-Coupled Nucleotide Excision Repair (TC-NER) defects in sensorineural hearing loss. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To examine our model, we have developed a zebrafish line with a 9+1 base-pair deletion in the ercc6 gene using TALENs. Mutation has since been confirmed by PCR and subsequent restriction digest with StuI. A series of assays evaluating hair cell morphology, structure and function, as well as ribbon synapse structure, will be used to analyze potential differences between the ercc6 mutant zebrafish line a their wild-type siblings. Additionally, electron microscopy will be used to assess differences in hair cell ultrastructure between the ercc6 mutant zebrafish line a their wild-type siblings. Finally, UVC exposure assays will be used to determine the role TC-NER plays in our novel zebrafish model, and evaluate its potential implications in sensorineural hearing loss. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate that biallelic loss of function mutations in the zebrafish ercc6 gene will result in abnormalities in hair cell structure, mechanotransduction, or cell number. Additionally, we anticipate that hair cell ultrastructure and ribbon synapse structure will be impacted by loss of ercc6 expression. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Hearing loss mechanisms associated with defects in TC-NER are yet to be described. We believe our model will provide the tools for a faster and efficient way to carry out Cockayne Syndrome studies while laying the groundwork for the association between TC-NER and hearing loss.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study was to develop a clinically applicable technique to increase the precision of in vivo dose monitoring during radiation therapy by mapping the dose deposition and resolving the temporal dose accumulation while the treatment is being delivered in real time. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Ironizing radiation acoustic imaging (iRAI) is a novel imaging concept with the potential to map the delivered radiation dose on anatomic structure in real time during external beam radiation therapy without interrupting the clinical workflow. The iRAI system consisted of a custom-designed two-dimensional (2D) matrix transducer array with integrated preamplifier array, driven by a clinic-ready ultrasound imaging platform. The feasibility of iRAI volumetric imaging in mapping dose delivery and real-time monitoring of temporal dose accumulation in a clinical treatment plan were investigated with a phantom, a rabbit model, and a cancer patient. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The total dose deposition and temporal dose accumulation in 3D space of a clinical C-shape treatment plan in a targeted region were first imaged and optimized in a phantom. Then, semi-quantitative iRAI measurements were achieved in an in vivo rabbit model. Finally, for the first time, real-time visualization of radiation dose delivered deep in a patient with liver metastases was performed with a clinical linear accelerator. These studies demonstrate the potential of iRAI to monitor and quantify the radiation dose deposition during treatment. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Described here is the pioneering role of an iRAI system in mapping the 3D radiation dose deposition of a complex clinical radiotherapy treatment plan. iRAI offers a cost-effective and practical solution for real-time visualization of 3D radiation dose delivery, potentially leading to personalized radiotherapy with optimal efficacy and safety.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study proposes a pragmatic approach for tracking institutional changes in research teamwork and productivity in real time using common institutional electronic databases such as eCV and grant management systems. Dissemination of this approach could provide a standard metric for comparing teamwork productivity across different programs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This study tracks research teamwork and productivity using commonly available institutional electronic databases such as eCV and grant management systems. We tested several definitions of interdisciplinary collaborations based on number of collaborations and their fields of discipline. Publication characteristics were compared by faculty seniority and appointment type using non-parametric Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test (p RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Interdisciplinary grants constitute 24% of all grants but the trend has significantly increased over the last five years. Tenure track faculty collaborated with more organizations (3.5, SD 2.5 vs 2.3, SD 1.1, p DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This study provides empirical evidence of the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration in research and identifies an important role that senior faculty may be playing in creating the culture of interdisciplinary teamwork. More research is needed to improve efficiency of interdisciplinary collaborations.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers (BC) comprise >70% of all BC and cause the most BC-related deaths in women worldwide. Despite available therapies against ER+ BC, recurrence often arises due to development of endocrine therapy resistance. Thus, our goal is to identify novel biomarkers that could serve as therapeutic targets for ER+ BC. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We have identified a neuroimmune molecule, Semaphorin 7a (SEMA7A), as a potential biomarker for endocrine therapy resistance, relapse, and poor survival in ER+ BC patients. SEMA7A promotes tumor growth, angiogenesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, metastasis, and endocrine therapy resistance in our pre-clinical models. Specifically, using in vivo models we have shown that SEMA7A+ MCF7 tumors result in lung metastases that do not respond to fulvestrant, in part via downregulation of ER, posing the need to identify novel, druggable targets for SEMA7A+ ER+ BC patients. SEMA7A is a membrane-bound protein that can inhibit tumor cell death via integrin-mediated PI3K/Akt pro-survival signaling. Thus, we hypothesized that SEMA7A+ ER+ BC may be sensitive to PI3K inhibition in combination with fulvestrant. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our preliminary studies confirmed that high SEMA7A expression associates with increased phospho-Akt levels and decreased apoptosis of tumor cells in forced suspension conditions. We also observed that human MCF7 ER+ SEMA7A overexpressing (OE) cells are sensitive to the PI3K (P110ï ¡ï€©ï€ inhibitor, Alpelisib. Also, the combination of Alpelisib with fulvestrant inhibited tumor cell viability in MCF7 cells, which was further enhanced in the SEMA7A OE counterparts. The combination also decreased proliferation and tumor sphere formation. There are currently no therapies that directly target SEMA7A, and here I propose an innovative hypothesis that PI3K inhibition will block SEMA7A signaling. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The role of SEMA7A has been studied in several cancer types, but its function in ER+ BC remains less well understood. In future studies, we will explore the mechanisms by which SEMA7A signals in the cell and to promote tumor cell survival. Delineating these mechanisms will help optimize treatment combinations to improve BC patient survival.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Platelets reside at the nexus of thrombosis and inflammation which make them an ideal target of investigation to understand mechanisms underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related inflammatory and thrombotic dysregulation. Our objective is to determine whether a pro-inflammatory state in CKD is exacerbated by platelets. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Aim 1 will investigate effects of engineered reduction in the interaction of platelets with leukocytes [by disruption of one of the platelet surface receptor (GPIb-IX)] in the development of CKD in murine models. Aim 2 will investigate effects of platelet inhibitors on the development of CKD in murine models. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate that the proposed studies in Aim 1 will demonstrate reduction in the interaction of platelets with leukocytes results in exacerbation of kidney injury upon CKD induction with cisplatin. We also anticipate that inhibition of platelets in Aim 2 with P2Y12 receptor inhibitors results in reduction in kidney injury upon CKD induction with cisplatin. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Upon successful completion of the proposed studies, we shall be able to better describe the role of platelets as modulators of inflammation in CKD. This will be a significant stride towards understanding the pathophysiology of a pro-inflammatory state in CKD and how platelets exacerbate inflammation and thrombosis in this population.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This report evaluates participants’experiences from three universities who assembled a complex grant proposal related to research on post-acute sequala of COVID-19 (PASC), also called long COVID. Activities reviewed ranged from the assembly of the team to responses to reviews by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews, conducted and recorded on Zoom, with a sample of 15 scientists and staff both during proposal assembly and following proposal review. The sample comprised 40% of the total team equally selected from the 3 universities, The interview protocol was reviewed by the IRB at UTMB and the interviews were recorded on Zoom, and analyzed by means of the constant comparative strategy in the grounded theory method of qualitative research. Given the relatively small number of interviews in this project, we paid special attention to preserving the confidentiality of respondents. Only the verbal tracks of the interviews were professionally transcribed. Respondents were asked to suggest changes for future inter-organizational proposals. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: FIRST INTERVIEWS *LEADERSHIP: The scope of leadership opportunities was expanded as sub-teams in specific areas such as community engagement were formed. *TEAM: Each university’s community engagement team specializes in a different ethnic clientele, precluding a singular statement for the proposal. SECOND INTERVIEWS *LEADERSHIP: Staff members noted that the team concept too easily evolved into a bureaucratic format, resulting in less negotiation and more direction. *ASSEMBLY TASKS: The Writing Team turned out to be one of the most critical staff teams. *COMMUNICATION: The behavioral scientists in community engagement do not necessarily share paradigms (e.g., public health, psychology, and social work). They had difficulty generating productive communication and a unified statement for the proposal. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The scientists, as a group, suggested that future proposals should focus on one general topic, such as the microbiome, as opposed to attempting to integrate widely divergent interests. The scientists as a group should decide a priori whether to treat innovative ideas such as machine learning science as a science or a service.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Hamsters develop COVID-19 similarly to people because the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds with high affinity to hamster ACE2 resulting in host cell entry and replication. Our goal was to establish a hamster model that mirrors the lung and brain pathophysiology observed in COVID-19. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Hamsters infected with SARS CoV-2 are sacrificed on day 1 and day 6 postinfection. Lung histopathology scoring model was implemented for assessment all pathological relevant changes in the lungs of infected animals on tissue sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. To quantify the extent and severity of lung pathology, two scoring systems were used: the first evaluated all relevant changes in the lungs of the infected animals and the second evaluated only the pathology associated with the pulmonary vasculature. Percentage of airway affected, airway severity, bronchiolar epithelial hyperplasia, alveoli affected, alveolar severity, type II pneumocyte hyperplasia and vessels affected were analyzed. Total airway score plus total lung alveolar score give lung histopathology score. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Compared to the control hamster, the hamsters day 1 postinfection, exhibited a higher total airway score [9.00 ± 1.35 vs. 0.25 ± 0.1; p DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Establishing this outstanding small animal model of COVID-19 will facilitate studies investigating diagnostics, prognosis and response to treatment in COVID-19 disease. These studies will provide insights that will complement on-going clinical trials on angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) in COVID-19.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, the All of Us (AoU) Wisconsin Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) site aimed to improve public understanding of science by creating a Special Interest Group (SIG) of community members and scientists and driving healthcare research relevant to Southeastern Wisconsin. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We recruited community members from the AoU advisory boards and scientists from Froedtert & MCW. These SIG participants will converge on a hypothesis that aligns with community priorities and conduct research using the national AoU database, which combines EHR, survey, and whole genome sequencing data. A year of monthly SIG meetings from 2022-2023 will serve as focus group sessions that will be recorded and transcribed. In addition to descriptive statistics on participant demographics and affiliations, we plan to qualitatively characterize transcripts, field notes, and feedback, such as participation satisfaction or reflection on self- and group-driven impact. We will publish alongside all SIG members on both the research outcomes and the SIG-driven process to inform future similar endeavors. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: To date, we held three SIG meetings, which together formed the discover and define stages in the human-centered design framework. We narrowed down SIG membership to 15 consistent participants. Our coalition building conversations emphasized group priorities and future payoffs for independent research and community partnerships. Realizing a crucial need for bioinformaticians to prosecute SIG-driven research questions, we created a data subgroup of trainees and scientists to familiarize themselves with the AoU Researcher Workbench. Through shared decision making during this community engaged process, we are converging on a research direction centering on specific diseases or adverse outcomes with relevance to Southeastern Wisconsin communities and with implications for personalized medicine. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: SIG scientists will learn about CBPR and access the AoU database. SIG community members will better understand the research process and share their lessons with local communities. The AoU Wisconsin research team will disseminate findings on the collective research process and empower scientist use of this nationally curated AoU database.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: T develop a novel PROTAC to deplete BRK to inhibit tumorigenesis and metastasis, which is unattainable by using tradition kinase inhibitors. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will design, synthesize, and evaluate BRK-specific PROTACs to study both catalytic and scaffolding properties of BRK that contribute to cancer progression. Optimal PRTOAC concentrations will be used to treat MDA-MB-231 cells to determine effects on cell proliferation, cell migration, invasion, metastatic potential, and colony formation. Immunoblotting will be used to determine target protein degradation and to evaluate if PROTAC mediated degradation of BRK allows SMAD4 to form complex with SMAD2 and SMAD3. Finally, a metastatic xenograft mouse model (MDA-MD-231) will be injected subcutaneously or via tail vein into NU/J 002019 mice8, 17 and treated with the BRK PROTAC to evaluate inhibition of tumorigenesis and metastasis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We expect that the PROTAC will specifically degrade BRK and restore the anti-tumorigenic and anti-metastatic function of SMAD4 in metastatic breast cancer. In turn, we anticipate that cell proliferation, invasion, and colony formation properties of metastatic breast cancer will be restricted and SMAD4 will form complex with SMAD2 and SMAD3. Additionally, mice treated the BRK targeted PROTAC should experience reduced tumor growth and metastasis compared to placebo. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This substantially new approach will inhibit oncogenic nRTKs to restore the antitumor function of TGFβ/SMAD signaling is expected to bring metastatic cancer under therapeutic control. Thus, the expected outcomes are likely to have a significant impact because it will provide a new targeted therapy to improve metastatic TNBC patient survival.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Team science competencies are not well-defined for nonfaculty staff of Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) who conduct research. Using an existing framework, our work has determined skills associated with team science competencies as related to CRPs. Our team also outlined examples of those skills on a fundamental, skilled, and advanced level. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The team consists of both CRPs and those working in the Team Science space. This team used a modified Delphi approach to determine the skills and leveling examples of each team science competency. The team broke into four groups and was assigned 3-4 competencies each. Each group determined skills needed to support (exhibit, promote) each competency and then described an example of this skill at the fundamental, skilled, and advanced levels. Once each group was finished with their assigned competencies, they were re-assigned to a different group for review and changes. Finally, team science and CRP experts reviewed the skills and levels. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our results are a rubric that defines 3-5 practical skills per described competency. These skills are needed to support and promote each competency as a CRP. An additional outcome from this work includes examples of each skill at the fundamental, skilled, and advanced levels in a CRP’s career. Each leveled example is described in a concise, actionable way using Bloom’s taxonomy. This rubric is meant to be easily understood, very useable and able to be used in conjunction with existing CRP competency frameworks. By using Bloom’s taxonomy, we set the stage for future educational programming in Team Science skill-building for clinical research professionals. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Team science concepts and competencies have been increasingly integrated into translational science teams. However, team science competencies related to CRPs have remained largely undefined. Our work helps to define these competencies for CRPs in a practical way. Our rubric fills gaps in, and builds on, existing CRP competency frameworks.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To compare the effects of dietary fiber supplementation based on fermentability and viscosity on phosphorus fractional absorption and the gut microbiome in a rat model of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 25-week-old Cy/+ male rats (CKD hereafter) will be randomly assigned to receive one of four fiber treatments (10% w/w each) based on fermentability and viscosity: 1) Cellulose (-fermentability, -viscosity), 2) inulin (+fermentability, -viscosity), 3) psyllium husk (-fermentability, +viscosity), or 4) pectin (+ fermentability, +viscosity). Diets will be formulated with a semipurified diet containing 0.7% phosphorus. Treatments will last for 10 weeks, and rats will be euthanized at 35 weeks of age, where animals have reached kidney failure. Intravenous and oral 33P will be used for intestinal phosphorus fractional absorption and cecal/fecal samples will be obtained at euthanasia for microbiome assessment using shotgun metagenomics. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our preliminary data show that fermentable dietary fiber (inulin) impacted phosphorus homeostasis by increasing the circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 (a bone-derived hormone that increases phosphorus excretion in urine) and lowering circulating levels of phosphorus in the Cy/+ male rat model of progressive chronic kidney disease. We hypothesize that dietary fiber impacts phosphorus absorption in gut microbiome-dependent and independent mechanisms. For example, fermentable fiber enhances the production of short-chain fatty acids, lowering the intraluminal pH, and enhancing mineral solubility and absorption. Meanwhile, viscous fibers may encapsulate minerals limiting their absorption if these fibers are non-fermentable. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Hyperphosphatemia, or high circulating phosphorus, is a major factor in the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD. Treatment of hyperphosphatemia is focused on reducing intestinal absorption. However, available therapies vary in their efficacy and focus on phosphorus absorption in the small intestine, ignoring the possible impact of the large intestine.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: NSF often requires cross-disciplinary team composition to be competitive for funding. To what extent do research teams have multidisciplinary authorships after they win an award, given that awards are not contracts? We examined the quantity and quality of multidisciplinary collaboration of NSF-funded teams before and after receiving their award. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Our sample was 150 PIs and Co-PIs (67% male) from 58 NSF-funded EAGER (EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) grants between 2013 and 2019. Using publicly available information, we collected the number of conference papers, publications, and grants PIs/co-PIs produced with each other (all PIs and co-PIs in a team or a partial subset). Based on Ph.D. fields, we also cataloged whether the combination of PIs/co-PI authors on outputs represented unidisciplinary or multidisciplinary collaboration after their NSF award. Multidisciplinary collaboration consisted of multidivisional (Ph.D. disciplines across NSF divisions, e.g., political science and cognitive psychology) or multidirectorate (Ph.D. disciplines across NSF directorates, e.g., psychology and engineering) authorship. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Of the 74% of PI and co-PI teams who collaborated after their EAGER award, almost 9 out of 10 chose to work with a collaborator from a different discipline, and almost 8 out of 10 chose to work with a researcher from an extremely diverse discipline from their own (e.g., computer science and psychology). Research on interdisciplinary teams largely emphasizes the challenges and problems they face but the current research demonstrated that 90% of the sample chose to continue working together across disciplines after EAGER awards. Therefore, future research should dedicate more attention to the nontangible benefits members receive in interdisciplinary teams. Moreover, quality measures revealed higher H-indices for multidisciplinary than unidisciplinary journals and conferences. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our archival results revealed that NSF EAGER grants are having their intended effect of being a catalyst for 1) continued multidisciplinary (and especially multidirectorate) collaboration) and 2) high-quality multidisciplinary publication and conference output. These results have contributed to NSF policy changes to reinstate the EAGER grant.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The trabecular meshwork (TM) and Schlemm’s canal (SC), located within the iridocorneal angle (ICA), form the main outflow pathway and a major target for glaucoma treatments. We characterized the human ICA in vivo with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging using a customized goniolens and a commercial OCT device (Heidelberg Spectralis). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Imaging these structures is difficult due to the optical limitations of imaging through the cornea at high angles. Therefore, a clinical gonioscopy lens was modified with a 12mm plano-convex lens placed on its anterior surface to focus light on the ICA structures, and capture returning light. Each subjects’ eye was anesthetized with 1 drop of Proparacaine 0.5%. The goniolens was coupled to the eye with gonio-gel and it was held by a 3D adjustable mount. OCT volume scans were acquired on 10 healthy subjects. The linear polarization of the OCT was rotated with a half-waveplate to measure dependence of the ICA landmarks on polarization orientation. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The TM was seen in 9 of 10 subjects. Polarization rotation modified the brightness of the band of extracanalicular limbal lamina (BELL) and corneoscleral bands due to the birefringent nature of the collagenous structures, increasing the contrast of SC. SC width was 99 ± 20µm varying in size over space, including a subject with SC narrowing in the inferior-temporal quadrant. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This clinically suitable gonioscopic OCT approach has successfully been used to image the human ICA in 3D in vivo, providing detailed characterization of the TM and SC as well as enhancing their contrast against their birefringent backgrounds by rotating the polarization of the imaging beam.
