      ab: Purpose: Scientific transparency and rigor are essential for the successful translation of knowledge in clinical research. However, the field of oropharyngeal dysphagia research lacks guidelines for methodological design and reporting, hindering accurate interpretation and replication. This article introduces the Framework for RigOr aNd Transparency In REseaRch on Swallowing (FRONTIERS), a new critical appraisal tool intended to support optimal study design and results reporting. The purpose of introducing FRONTIERS at this early phase is to invite pilot use of the tool and open commentary. Methods: FRONTIERS was developed by collaborating researchers and trainees from six international dysphagia research labs. Eight domains were identified, related to study design, swallowing assessment methods, and oropharyngeal dysphagia intervention reporting. Small groups generated questions capturing rigor and transparency for each domain, based on examples from the literature. An iterative consensus process informed the refinement and organization of primary and subquestions, culminating in the current initial version of FRONTIERS. Results: FRONTIERS is a novel tool, intended for use by oropharyngeal dysphagia researchers and research consumers across disciplines. A web application enables provisional use of the tool, and an accompanying survey solicits feedback regarding the framework. Conclusion: FRONTIERS seeks to foster rigor and transparency in the design and reporting of oropharyngeal dysphagia research. We encourage provisional use and invite user feedback. A future expert consensus review is planned to incorporate feedback. By promoting scientific rigor and transparency, we hope that FRONTIERS will support evidence-based practice and contribute to improved health outcomes for individuals with oropharyngeal dysphagia.
