Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 09 GPD 045 009; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary funding program offered through FEMA Region 9 using a cooperative agreement. Its basic goal is to support partners in carrying out flood hazard identification work, especially the program management and mapping-related tasks that FEMA defines each fiscal year in the CTP program guidance. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help qualified partners contribute to the development, update, and maintenance of flood hazard data and related products that support FEMA's broader flood mapping and risk identification mission, including work connected to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Funding is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means FEMA expects to have a more hands-on role in coordination, oversight, and technical collaboration during the period of performance. The activities supported can include mapping and other technical work, as well as the management functions needed to plan, coordinate, and deliver those outputs. The announcement also makes clear that eligible projects may or may not be geospatial in nature, so while GIS and mapping are central themes, the program can also support other kinds of flood hazard identification activities when they fit within the annual CTP guidance.
Eligibility is limited to entities that are already CTP partners and that either are an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Applicants must also be able to demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded work and that they already operate non-federally funded processes and/or systems that support flood hazard identification. This is an important point: the program is not designed to build capacity from scratch, but rather to fund partners that already have working frameworks in place and can integrate FEMA support into ongoing, established operations.
The eligible applicant types listed include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized tribal governments and both public and private institutions of higher education. The listing also notes "multi-jurisdictional entities," indicating that regional organizations or collaborative bodies that represent multiple jurisdictions may qualify when they meet the partner and NFIP-related requirements described in the announcement. The opportunity indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving an award.
Key administrative details from the source include the posted date of January 9, 2009, with an application closing date of September 15, 2009 (archive date October 15, 2009). The funding activity category is described broadly as science and technology and other research and development, which aligns with the technical and analytical nature of flood hazard identification and mapping work. For further details and program materials, the announcement points to FEMA's CTP webpage (http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ctpmain.shtm). Assistance with accessing the full announcement is available through the FEMA Map Assistance Center at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877-336-2627) or by email at ctp@mapmodteam.com.
