Establishes a research program on tropospheric ozone impacts and mitigation.

The Tropospheric Ozone Research Act of 2026 mandates the Environmental Protection Agency to create a research program focused on tropospheric ozone. The program will award grants to eligible entities for research on current and future ozone impacts, including global temperature rise, regional heat stress, crop losses, and health effects. The EPA must collaborate with the international scientific community and ensure data collected is publicly available. The program includes funding for monitoring infrastructure and requires annual reports from grant recipients.
