OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Translational Science Benefits Model offers an approach for evaluating the downstream health and social impact of research. Using the new Translating for Impact Toolkit of nine ...web-based tools, researchers can create free, secure accounts to plan, track, and demonstrate the impact of their work. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Development of the online toolkit includes 6 phases: 1) Review of existing tools, 2) Development of fillable PDF tool prototypes, 3) Pilot testing, 4) Development of web-based tools, 5) Usability testing, and 6) Refinement of web-based tools. First, we reviewed existing tools for measuring research impact. We then created prototypes of nine tools, published on the TSBM website, and pilot tested with researchers. Based on feedback and testing, we developed and launched web-based versions of the tools. We are currently conducting usability testing with researchers, which we will use to evaluate the ease-of-use and quality of the tools, identify areas for improvement, and refine the tools. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Researchers can sign up for user accounts, create projects, invite collaborators and program administrators, and save progress as the complete the nine tools in the Translating for Impact Toolkit. The tools are divided into three steps: Plan (Roadmap to Impact, Benefits 2x2, Partner Mapper, and Team Manager), Track (Impact Tracker), and Demonstrate (Product Navigator, Case Study Builder, Impact Profile, and Dissemination Planner). The toolkit also includes a dashboard that provides a quick snapshot of translational impact for each project. The toolkit will help both individual translational scientists demonstrate the impact of their work and CTSA hubs evaluate impact of their projects. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The TSBM online toolkit is a free, secure, easy-to-use platform researchers can use to plan for, track, and demonstrate the impacts of their work. The toolkit provides a structured process that will help the next generation of scientists prioritize and promote translational impact in their work.
•The framework supports asynchronous usability testing in mobile application.•User interaction can be tracked without additional code based on changes of screen.•With graph model and screenshot, the ...interaction can be visualized effectively.•Visualized outcomes help evaluators understand user interaction.
Asynchronous usability testing is efficient and promising usability testing methodology. However, evaluators are required to dedicate a considerable amount of effort for identifying usability problems in asynchronous testing. Evaluators cannot observe user interactions directly; only the collected data is available to them for identifying the usability problems. To reduce the amount of effort required, this paper presents a framework and tool for interaction visualization. This framework tracing user interactions based on meaningful GUI changes. The collected interaction log is visualized in a way that is similar to the visualization of traversed path used in web domains. Using our approach, the evaluator shall be able to understand user behavior more easily. In addition, we designed a black-box-based interaction logging for minimizing the implementation costs. Our tool especially helpful when testing has a large number of interaction data to analyze. To evaluate the proposed framework and tool, user interaction data were collected, and the results were evaluated by mobile application experts. The evaluation results demonstrate that the user interaction data traced by the proposed framework accurately reflect the user interactions and that the visualization results are valid.

In fall 2017, the Writing Program Administration Graduate Organization (WPA-GO) Labor Census Task Force surveyed 344 graduate student instructors (GSIs) of writing from across the U.S. about their ...labor conditions. Our findings highlight the material challenges GSIs face in writing programs: low pay, inconsistent access to healthcare, and little support for health and family life. These labor conditions, we argue, construct an imagined ideal GSI, disproportionately impacting GSIs with marginalized identities.
