The STRATA Act of 2026 establishes a new international science and technology partnership program that requires detailed partnership agreements between the United States and other countries, with each agreement including specific objectives, measurable benchmarks, multiyear implementation plans, dispute resolution procedures, and processes for managing proposals through a potential digital platform. The bill creates coordination mechanisms between the program's Director and national science councils to identify cooperation priorities and ensure that technologies developed under the program are reviewed by the National Defense Technology and Industrial Base Council for faster transition from research to operational and commercial use. The legislation authorizes the program for ten years, with a provision allowing funds committed during that period to continue being spent after the authorization expires to complete ongoing projects and fulfill existing commitments.
