Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program is a FEMA-led funding opportunity (CFDA 97.045) designed to strengthen flood hazard mapping and flood risk identification by supporting qualified partners through cooperative agreements. In practical terms, the program helps organizations that already participate in FEMA's CTP network carry out the program management and technical work needed to develop, update, and maintain flood hazard data used in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Rather than funding general disaster projects, the focus is on the sustained, behind-the-scenes capacity and technical activities that keep flood mapping and risk products accurate and usable for communities, planners, and emergency managers.
The assistance is provided as a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA is typically more involved than it would be with a standard grant. The specific activities that can be funded are defined each fiscal year in FEMA's CTP program guidance, but the announcement emphasizes two broad areas: program management and mapping-related work. Mapping-related work can include efforts that directly support flood hazard and risk identification, and the notice makes a point that eligible initiatives may or may not be geospatial in nature. That leaves room for both classic mapping and data development tasks (often GIS-heavy) and other supporting activities that still contribute to identifying and communicating flood risk.
Eligibility is tied closely to participation and standing within FEMA's flood insurance framework. Applicants must already be a CTP partner, and they must either be, or represent, an NFIP community in good standing. Beyond status, FEMA also expects applicants to demonstrate the capability to perform the proposed activities and to already have non-federally funded processes or systems in place that support flood hazard and risk identification. In other words, the program is structured to invest in organizations that have an existing baseline of operational capacity and are positioned to produce reliable, FEMA-aligned results, not to build a program from scratch.
The eligible applicant types are broad but centered on public-sector and community-serving organizations. They include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities that fall under the higher education category). This mix reflects the way flood data and floodplain management responsibilities are spread across different levels of government, regional entities, and technical institutions.
For this particular posting (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-11-MT-045-007-99, listed under FEMA Region 7), FEMA anticipated about 50 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $69,000,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on August 11, 2011, with an application deadline of August 26, 2011, and it was later archived on September 25, 2011. While those dates make this a historical posting, the summary reflects the core intent and structure of the CTP model: targeted federal support to CTP partners so they can deliver FEMA-recognized flood hazard and risk identification activities consistently and at scale.
Applicants were directed to full details through Grants.gov, and technical assistance for accessing the announcement was provided via FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch (GMD Systems) at the email listed in the notice.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program?

What is the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The purpose is to strengthen the development, update, and maintenance of flood hazard data and related flood risk identification work used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The emphasis is on sustained program management and technical capacity that keeps flood mapping and risk products accurate and usable.
Is this funding meant for general disaster projects or response activities?
No. The notice emphasizes that this opportunity is not for general disaster projects. It is focused on ongoing capacity and technical activities that support flood hazard mapping and flood risk identification products.
What type of federal assistance is provided under this opportunity?
Assistance is provided through a cooperative agreement. This typically means FEMA is more involved than it would be under a standard grant.
What kinds of activities can be funded?
The specific eligible activities are defined each fiscal year in FEMA's CTP program guidance. The announcement highlights two broad categories of work that may be funded: program management and mapping-related work that supports flood hazard and flood risk identification.
Does the work have to be geospatial or GIS-based?
Not necessarily. The notice states that eligible initiatives may or may not be geospatial in nature, meaning both traditional mapping/data development work and other supporting activities can be eligible if they contribute to flood hazard and risk identification.
Who is eligible to apply?
