Summary
National Laboratories Partnership Improvement Act of 2001- Instructs the Secretary of Energy to: (1) establish a Technology Infrastructure Program to improve the ability of the National Laboratories to support department missions; (2) provide specified maximum funding among up to ten National Laboratories selected to conduct Technology Infrastructure Program Pilot Programs; (3) require the Director of each National Laboratory to establish a small business advocacy and assistance program; and (4) establish a Technology Transfer Coordinator within the Office of Policy, for oversight and policy development of DOE technology transfer activities. Amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to authorize the Secretary to enter into transactions with public and private entities for research, development, or demonstration projects. Directs the Secretary to determine whether it is reasonable to ensure whether each contractor operating a National Laboratory or facility has policies and procedures that do not create disincentives to the transfer of scientific, technical, and business personnel among the contractor-operated National Laboratory or facilities.
