Role in the Community
- The TAHS story corpus holds a community record of the institute dated 2014-10-12 — see Institute for Taiwanese Studies record (TAHS corpus).
- Per the 台美人物誌 interview with Dr. 王克雄 (Taiwan Justice profile, archived 2024-09-05): he co-founded 美國台灣研究院 and serves as a current board director; the institute’s main work is supplying Taiwan perspectives and data to US think tanks, and it once arranged a seminar between Dr. 蔡英文 and US think-tank figures — 王克雄博士專訪.
- HOLD: a separate corpus record exists for 南加州台灣研究院 / Institute for Taiwanese Studies (S. California) — record; parent/affiliate relationship not established, not merged.
- Named affiliation found 2026-10-06: Chun-Yung Lin 林純容’s TAH Foundation profile lists 美國台灣研究院 — 研究員 (researcher) in its Employment table, the first named individual affiliated with the institute in the corpus ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whoswho1732|TAH #1732, 2017-07]]).
- Re-verified 2026-09-25 (slice 09250600-6): SKIP — fresh grep (美國台灣研究院/Institute for Taiwanese Studies) returns only the two own records, the works index, and the 王克雄 專訪 already cited above; nothing new absorbable.
- Re-verified 2026-10-01 (slice 09261100-17): SKIP — fresh grep (美國台灣研究院 / Institute for Taiwanese Studies / 台灣研究院) over content/works + content/articles returns only the two own records (#13 美國台灣研究院 2014-10-12, #1 南加州台灣研究院), the works index, and the 王克雄 專訪 already cited above. HOLD: the three 2026 taiwanjustice-net articles that match on “台灣研究院” name PRC think-tanks, not this US body — 北大台灣研究院 (院長李義虎), 廈門大學台灣研究院 (劉國深), 北京聯合大學台灣研究院 (朱松嶺). Grep artifact; do not absorb or wikilink. No new absorbable fact.
- Re-verified 2026-10-06 (deepen-x slice 10051200-3): whole-tree ZH+EN grep — hits are own records, index rows, the 王克雄 專訪 (co-founder + board director, already cited), the TAFSD page’s parallel citation of the same interview, and 林純容’s researcher listing now absorbed above. The three 2026 taiwanjustice-net 台灣研究院 articles re-confirmed as PRC think-tank grep artifacts (北大/廈門/北京聯合大學), not absorbed.
- New lead 2026-10-08 (deepen-x slice 10062218-9): the 2018-06 大洛杉磯台灣會館會訊 records that the 會館圖書館 “委託台灣研究院收集有關台灣的政治、文化、經濟及社會的英文書籍” shown at the members’ assembly — 2018-06 會館會訊, taiwanjustice.net. HOLD: the bare “台灣研究院” is not identified as either 美國台灣研究院 or 南加州台灣研究院 in the source — attribution unresolved, not merged.
