DORIS was funded by the Scottish
Government's National Advisory Committee
for Stroke.

DORIS is based at the NMAHP Research Unit, working in partnership with the Cochrane Stroke Group and James Lind Alliance.

DORIS is a Scottish initiative, formed following the recognition that the promotion of evidence based stroke rehabilitation and future relevant high quality research would be improved with:

Easy access to up-to-date high quality evidence

Identification of priority areas for future stroke rehabilitation research

Shared knowledge of current stroke rehabilitation research

Networks and effective communication and collaboration between researchers and clinical staff with shared research questions and / or interests

Avoidance of duplication of effort between groups

DORIS aimed to bring together representatives from all relevant Scottish groups to design and manage a shared web-based information database, aimed at meeting the shared information needs of these groups.

The development of DORIS was funded by the Scottish Government's National Advisory Committee for Stroke, March 2009-February 2012. The DORIS website was officially launched in December 2011.
