The D'Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) is a nonprofit organization who aims is to promote scientific and technological progress in healthcare. IDOR has its own headquarters since 2010 but its origin dates back to the creation of the Rede D'Or hospitals group, its main sponsor. Since the establishment of its hospitals network, Rede D'Or São Luiz Group has promoted numerous education and clinical research initiatives, including education and specialization programs. Graduate level education programs (lato sensu), residency programs, and specialization courses were created, as well as fellowships for undergraduate students and for medical physicists, many in partnership with public universities. The scientific committee, the institutional review board (human research ethics committee, tied to the CONEP, an organ of the Brazilian Ministry of Health), and a science diffusion center were all established during the past decade. Since 2010, when it was formaly established, IDOR operates in its own headquarters, located in Rio de Janeiro, and is responsible for designing, planning and overseeing most of the educational and research activities conducted intramurally in Rede D'Or São Luiz. IDOR also independently seeks new opportunities for scientific collaborations with other institutions and investigators, with the goal of bringing innovative ways to foster scientific research, education and awareness.
