Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program is a FEMA program (listed here under DHS Region 2) that provides funding through cooperative agreements to support partners who help carry out flood hazard mapping and related program management work. The central aim is to make sure participating CTP partners have the resources to perform mapping and technical activities tied to flood hazard and flood risk identification, with the specific priorities and allowable activities set out each fiscal year in the program guidance. In practical terms, this funding is meant to strengthen the pipeline of work that supports Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other flood risk products, as well as the coordination, planning, and management functions that keep those efforts moving.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already CTP partners and that either are, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. Applicants also need to demonstrate they can actually carry out the work being funded and that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support activities contributing to flood hazard and risk identification. That requirement signals the program is not designed to create capacity from scratch; instead, it is intended to build on existing technical and administrative infrastructure so partners can deliver consistent, usable results for FEMA and NFIP communities.

The announcement emphasizes that funded projects may include mapping-related tasks and program management activities, but eligible initiatives do not have to be strictly geospatial in nature. This leaves room for a range of supporting work that contributes to flood hazard and risk identification, including efforts that improve data readiness, coordination, technical review, standards-based workflows, or other programmatic elements that ultimately improve the quality and usability of flood risk information.

This opportunity was released as a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, under the broader activity category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The total estimated funding amount listed is $69,000,000, with an expected 50 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated in the notice, which means applicants are not required to provide a formal match as a condition of award (though they still must have existing non-federal processes/systems supporting the work, as described in the eligibility language).

Eligible applicant types include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing includes CFDA number 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). The opportunity information provided shows it was posted on August 11, 2011, with an application deadline of August 26, 2011, and an archive date of September 25, 2011. The full announcement and application materials were available through Grants.gov, and technical assistance for accessing the announcement was directed to FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch via the provided email contact (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov).
