Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 045 004 99) is a discretionary funding announcement that provides Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) support through cooperative agreements to help qualified partners carry out flood mapping and related program management work. The overall intent is to strengthen flood hazard and flood risk identification efforts that support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Rather than being a general-purpose research grant, this program is designed to fund specific CTP program management and mapping activities that FEMA defines and updates in annual program guidance for each fiscal year.
Funding is provided using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means FEMA expects ongoing coordination and substantial involvement in the work (for example, alignment with FEMA mapping standards, schedules, data requirements, and quality expectations). The activities supported are focused on flood hazard and risk identification, including the kinds of tasks that help produce, update, or maintain flood hazard information used for floodplain management and insurance purposes. While many CTP projects are naturally geospatial (such as hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, topographic data, floodplain delineations, and other mapping inputs), the announcement notes that eligible projects may or may not involve geospatial issues. That leaves room for initiatives that support the broader mapping program infrastructure or management needs, so long as they contribute to flood hazard and risk identification outcomes.
To be eligible, applicants must already be CTP partners, and they must either be an NFIP community in good standing or represent an NFIP community in good standing. In practical terms, the program is not intended for first-time entities with no established relationship to the CTP framework. Applicants also need to demonstrate that they can actually perform the funded activities and that they already have non-Federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard and risk identification work. This requirement signals that FEMA is looking to invest in organizations that have an existing operational foundation (staffing, workflows, data management practices, technical tools, governance, or similar capabilities) and can leverage Federal support to deliver results, rather than building capacity from scratch solely with grant funds.
The eligible applicant types listed include state governments; city or township governments; county governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity is associated with FEMA Region 4, and the CFDA number is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). The announcement indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a defined non-Federal match as a condition of award, although they still must have existing non-Federal processes/systems that support the work.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the announcement anticipated about 50 awards with an estimated total funding level of $69,000,000. The posting date was August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and an archive date of September 25, 2011. The additional information link points applicants to www.grants.gov for full details and application materials. For technical trouble accessing the announcement, the listed contact is FEMA Systems and Business Support Branch via GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a mechanism FEMA uses to fund and manage collaborative flood mapping and flood risk identification work with trusted governmental, tribal, nonprofit, and public university partners who are already aligned with the CTP program and NFIP community requirements.
