The second phase identifies the mechanisms for bilateral cooperation and coordination in important policy areas. The third phase, which is currently in progress, brings light to both institutions investigation regarding pragmatic policy recommendations for the next leaders of Taiwan and the United States.

It also aims to identify key issues of third-party involvement in the NSP cooperation.
