The GTRI Office of Policy Analysis and Research is a division of the Georgia Tech Research Institute that focuses on policy analysis, particularly in fields where GTRI has science and technology experience.[1][3] OPAR assists the Georgia General Assembly and publishes briefs on relevant issues, including how other states treat various issues.[4][5]
