Government & Capitol Hill: Think Tanks

Think tanks are groups or institutions organized to conduct extensive research, formulate solutions to problems, and issue extensive reports on research findings, especially in the areas of technology, social or political strategy or armament. Think tanks are normally non-profit conservative or liberal organizations. They usually strive to shape policy through indirect means by educating the public or through informing political leaders in these areas. They do not engage in lobbying.
