Well per the translate tab above if you enter "research" you get a lot of options the most relavant seems to be:

research establishment (n) instituto (m) de investigación

I think you're right there. - annierats, May 19, 2014
Yes - and thank you all who are contributing - the difficulty seems to be in choosing which term to use... is there one that is most regular/standard/common? Or do any go? - lfd220, May 19, 2014
The important thing is to get an idea across to the other person. Even in English if I said I work for a think tank there will be some who need clarification. No one answer fits all. - gringojrf, May 19, 2014

Comité de expertos.

There are a lot of ways to say this. I am sure a lot of people can add on to this.
