NATIONAL CENTER FOR POLICY ANALYSIS:
A think tank is an organization that sponsors research on specific problems, encourages the discovery of solutions to those problems, and facilitates interaction among scientists and intellectuals in pursuit of these goals. A public policy think tank explicitly focuses on government policies, usually for the purpose of improving those policies or creating viable alternatives.

: 后来发现也对。似乎应该在标题中就写明两种译法：智囊团或智库，这样就比较完美了。
