Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program is a FEMA grant opportunity (under the Department of Homeland Security) that uses cooperative agreements to fund partners who help carry out flood hazard mapping and related program management work tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core idea is to strengthen FEMA's flood hazard and risk identification efforts by paying qualified partner organizations to take on specific mapping and coordination activities laid out each fiscal year in FEMA's CTP program guidance. While the program is heavily associated with flood mapping, FEMA notes that eligible projects or initiatives under this announcement may or may not involve geospatial work, depending on what the annual guidance defines as fundable activities.
This opportunity was posted on August 11, 2011, and closed on August 26, 2011 (archived September 25, 2011). It was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning FEMA expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and FEMA anticipated making around 50 awards. The estimated total funding amount available under this announcement was $69,000,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligibility is limited to entities that are already partners in the CTP Program and that either are an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Applicants also must be able to perform the funded activities and must already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support work contributing to flood hazard and risk identification. In practice, that requirement signals that FEMA is looking for organizations with real operational capacity and established workflows, not groups starting from scratch. Eligible applicant types included state and local governments (states, counties, and cities/townships), federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category).
The program itself is intended to support two broad kinds of work: (1) program management activities that help run and coordinate FEMA mapping and risk identification tasks, and (2) mapping-related activities that contribute to identifying flood hazards and understanding flood risk. The specific list of allowable tasks and priorities is not fully detailed in the summary text and is instead defined in the CTP program guidance issued each fiscal year, which applicants would need to follow when proposing a project. Because FEMA describes this as supporting flood hazard and risk identification, typical outcomes associated with CTP work generally align with improving the quality, coverage, and usefulness of flood hazard information that communities and FEMA rely on for floodplain management and insurance-related decisions.
For reference, the listing is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS-11-MT-045-000-99 and CFDA number 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). The announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov for full details, and provided a FEMA contact email (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov) for technical difficulties accessing the full announcement online.
