AB  - Background: Developing rigorous doctor of nursing practice (DNP) projects 
      continues to challenge faculty and doctoral students. To address project rigor, 
      expert content validity methods have been applied to clinical projects. Students 
      implement expert content validity processes to literature-based project 
      components. Objectives: The objectives of this study are to describe some of the 
      developmental phases of DNP projects during the courses of one DNP program and to 
      explore one strategy for increasing the rigor of DNP projects, review details on 
      expert-type content validity methods, and examine literature for projects 
      implementing an alternate application of expert-type content validity and scoring 
      approaches to components of DNP projects. Methods: Expert content validity 
      methods are described for DNP projects, such as guidelines, teaching plans, 
      support groups, and algorithms. They are used to judge components generated from 
      initial content analysis strategies. Types of expert panelists and descriptions 
      of scoring ranks on project components are presented to represent different 
      expert content validity strategies. Results The steps are presented to support 
      expert content validity processes. Conclusions: DNP projects challenge faculty 
      and students to create systematically constructed quality improvement projects on 
      important and interesting clinical problems. The expert context validity process 
      is one approach of enhancing project rigor. Implications for Nursing: An outline 
      offers steps to establish expert content validity for translational DNP projects.
