think tank

A think tank is a research institute or other organization providing advice and ideas on problems of policy, commerce, and military interest, and are often associated with military laboratories, corporations, academia, or other institutions. Usually this term refers specifically to organizations which support multi-disciplinary theorists and intellectuals who endeavor to produce analysis or policy recommendations.

Contrary to popluar belief, a think tank is not mutually exclusive to any political party and/or organization. Media reflection makes it seem that conservatives/Republicans use think tanks more than liberals/Democrats only because conservative think tanks have far more press releases.
