The competition among the world's scientific and technological powers calls for the national strategic scientific and technological power(NSSTF). Building an NSSTF coordination mechanism with reasonable orientation and complementary advantages is the key to enhance the national scientific and technological strategic ability and improve the overall efficiency of the national innovation system. Under China's national conditions and with the international experience, the NSSTF is divided into four types:The comprehensive, the professional, the cluster and the market ones, and the functional orientations of different types are analyzed, as well as the theoretical understanding of the coordination mechanism of the NSSTF, and the coordination mechanism of the NSSTF based on the collaborative symbiosis management model, and then some policy suggestions are put forward to strengthen the coordination of the NSSTF.
