Since its launch, NARS has seen a steady quantitative increase in the number of legislative research requests, a situation indicative of NARS's active support of assembly members' legislative and policy developments. As of January 9, 2014, bills proposed in the 19th National Assembly were estimated at 7,893-about 60% of the total research request, which was 12,220 in the 18th National Assembly.
In order to meet the continual need for qualitative research analysis, NARS endeavors to actively provide superior information and to realize a policy-driven National Assembly
