 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
National Laboratories Partnership Improvement Act of 2001 - Instructs the Secretary of Energy to: (1) establish a Technology Infrastructure Pilot 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 those Programs; and (3) require the Director of each National Laboratory to establish a small business advocacy and assistance program, including a technology partnership ombudsman.

Requires the Secretary to direct the Laboratory Operations Board to conduct studies related to improving mission effectiveness, partnerships, and technology transfer at National Laboratories.

Amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to authorize the Secretary to enter into transactions with public and private entities for research projects.

Mandates that, with respect to National Laboratories and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) facilities, all actions taken by the Secretary in implementing this Act shall be through the Administrator for Nuclear Security in conformance with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000.

Amends the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 to reflect the provisions of this Act with respect to strategic plans, experimental Federal waivers, and time required for approval.

Requires the Director of NNSA to obligate funds in certain percentage amounts each fiscal year for cooperative research and development agreements, or similar cooperative, cost-shared research partnerships with non-Federal organizations.
