Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 09 GPD 045 005) is a discretionary federal funding announcement offered by FEMA Region 5 under CFDA 97.045. It provides support through a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects an active partnership relationship with recipients rather than a hands-off pass-through grant. The program is centered on strengthening FEMA's flood hazard identification work by funding qualified CTP partners to carry out program management and mapping-related tasks that are laid out in FEMA's CTP program guidance for each fiscal year.
The core purpose of the funding is to ensure that organizations already participating in the CTP Program have the resources to perform flood mapping and related management activities that contribute to identifying and communicating flood risk. While mapping is a major theme, the announcement is flexible about the technical nature of proposed work: eligible projects or initiatives may involve geospatial components, but they do not have to. The common requirement is that funded activities must support flood hazard identification in a meaningful, program-recognized way and align with the specific activities defined in the yearly guidance.
Eligibility is limited to entities that are already CTP partners and that either are, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. In practical terms, applicants need to be closely tied to NFIP-participating communities and be able to show they can successfully manage and deliver the funded work. Applicants must also demonstrate that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard identification work. This requirement signals that FEMA is looking to invest in mature, capable partners with existing capacity, not organizations starting from scratch or relying entirely on federal dollars to build basic infrastructure.
The eligible applicant types listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity also notes multi-jurisdictional entities as eligible, reflecting the reality that watersheds and flood risks often cross local boundaries and may be managed more effectively through regional coordination.
This opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for qualified partners that have the necessary baseline systems but may not have available budget to meet a match requirement. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, reinforcing that FEMA anticipates collaboration, coordination, and ongoing involvement in how the work is planned and executed, consistent with federal flood mapping standards and program expectations.
Key dates from the announcement are: posted January 9, 2009; closing date September 15, 2009; and archive date October 15, 2009. The program is associated with FEMA's broader flood hazard mapping mission and the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) modernization efforts that were prominent during this period.
