Cooperating Technical Partner Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 045 001; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary FEMA Region 1 funding announcement designed to support flood hazard mapping and related technical work through cooperative agreements. The central goal is to provide funds so that established CTP partners can carry out mapping-related activities identified in FEMA program guidance for each fiscal year. While the program is closely tied to flood hazard identification and mapping work, the notice also makes clear that proposed projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, meaning applicants can potentially propose a range of technical or program support activities as long as they advance flood hazard identification objectives described in the annual guidance.

Eligibility is limited to entities that are already CTP partners and that either are, or formally represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. In practical terms, the applicant must be positioned to support FEMA flood mapping and risk identification efforts on behalf of an NFIP-participating community and must meet program expectations around participation and compliance. The announcement identifies a broad set of eligible applicant types, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The listing also references multi-jurisdictional entities, indicating that regional collaborations or organizations representing multiple jurisdictions may be eligible when they meet the CTP and NFIP-related requirements described above.

Beyond being an eligible organization, recipients must demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded activities and that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support work contributing to flood hazard identification. This requirement signals that FEMA is not looking to fund organizations that are starting from scratch; instead, it is supporting partners that already operate relevant technical, administrative, or programmatic infrastructure and can integrate federal support into ongoing, sustainable flood mapping or hazard identification functions.

The funding instrument type is a grant, implemented through a cooperative agreement structure, which generally implies FEMA expects substantial involvement or coordination during project performance compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, aligning with the technical and analytical nature of flood mapping and hazard identification work. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the barrier for eligible partners that may not have available matching funds.

Key dates included: the opportunity was posted February 25, 2008, created June 13, 2008, and originally closed March 28, 2008, with a revised (current) closing date of July 31, 2008. The archive date is August 30, 2008. For more information, the notice points to FEMA program materials at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ctpmain.shtm.
