Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 045 003 99) is a discretionary FEMA funding announcement issued through Region 3 to support partners that help carry out flood hazard mapping and related program management work tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordinating technical direction, reviewing deliverables, aligning work with FEMA mapping standards, and ensuring the funded work fits FEMA priorities and annual guidance). The overall purpose is to make sure approved CTP partners have the resources to perform mapping and management activities identified in the CTP program guidance for the given fiscal year, ultimately strengthening flood hazard and flood risk identification that supports NFIP administration and community floodplain management.
In practical terms, the program funds activities connected to flood hazard and risk identification, including both technical mapping work and the program management functions needed to plan, manage, and deliver that work. The announcement notes that eligible projects may or may not involve geospatial issues, which suggests FEMA is not limiting awards strictly to GIS or cartographic production. In addition to map production or updates, funded efforts can reasonably include coordination, data development and maintenance, quality assurance, stakeholder engagement related to mapping, and other supporting functions that help produce or improve flood hazard information used for flood risk communication, mitigation planning, and insurance rating. The exact set of allowable or priority activities is defined each fiscal year in the CTP program guidance referenced by the notice.
Eligibility is tied to being a CTP partner and having a direct connection to an NFIP community. To receive funding, applicants must already be participating in the CTP Program and must either be an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Applicants also need to demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded activities and, importantly, that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard and risk identification work. That requirement signals FEMA is looking for mature partners with existing operational capacity, not entities starting from scratch, and that federal funds are intended to augment or accelerate ongoing, established efforts rather than create entirely new infrastructure.
The opportunity lists a broad set of eligible applicant types, reflecting the wide range of entities that may serve as CTP partners or represent NFIP communities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and 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 catalog number is CFDA 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). There is no cost share or matching requirement stated in the notice, meaning applicants are not required to provide a formal match as a condition of award under this particular announcement.
Funding details in the posting indicate an estimated total funding amount of $69,000,000 and an expectation of about 50 awards, which implies awards could vary widely based on scope, partner capacity, and FEMA priorities. The posting date and creation date are Aug 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of Aug 26, 2011, and an archive date of Sep 25, 2011, indicating this specific announcement was time-limited and is now archived. Applicants were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements, instructions, and program guidance references.
