Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-11-MT-045-001-99) is a discretionary federal funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support organizations that help advance flood hazard and flood risk identification work tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The basic intent is to provide resources so approved CTP partners can carry out program management functions and mapping-related activities that FEMA defines each fiscal year in its program guidance. In practice, this means the funding is meant to keep capable partner organizations engaged in the ongoing technical and administrative work that supports FEMA flood mapping and related risk identification efforts, rather than being a one-off grant with minimal federal involvement. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect a more hands-on federal partnership model than a typical grant, with FEMA likely involved in coordination, technical direction, and oversight consistent with the program framework.

To be eligible, an applicant must already be a CTP Program partner and must either be, or represent, an NFIP community that is in good standing. Beyond membership or partnership status, the applicant must also demonstrate the capability to perform the funded activities and must have existing non-federally funded processes and/or systems already in place that support the kind of work the program is trying to strengthen. That requirement signals that FEMA is looking for organizations that have an established operational base and are already doing relevant work, where federal funds will help scale, improve, or sustain activities that contribute to flood hazard and risk identification rather than create an entirely new capability from scratch. The announcement also notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, which broadens the scope beyond pure GIS or map production to include other supporting activities that still contribute to identifying and communicating flood hazards and risks.

The opportunity anticipates a relatively large program footprint, with an estimated total funding amount of $69,000,000 and an expected 50 awards. No cost sharing or matching is required, which lowers barriers for eligible entities that might otherwise struggle to provide non-federal match. The funding activity category is listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA number provided is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), which is the federal assistance listing associated with the program.

Eligible applicants include a range of government and public-serving entities, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The eligibility list also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category). The issuing agency is identified as Region 1, indicating the announcement is tied to FEMA regional administration for that cycle, even though the CTP framework itself is a broader FEMA program.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and it was later archived on September 25, 2011. The announcement directs applicants to Grants.gov for full details and application access.
