Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 045 008 99; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement, administered by FEMA (listed here under Region 8). Its main goal is to provide financial support so that approved CTP partners can carry out program management and mapping-related work tied to FEMA's flood hazard and flood risk identification mission. The specific tasks that can be supported are not fixed in the notice itself; instead, they are defined each fiscal year in the program guidance, which sets the expectations for what activities FEMA wants partners to prioritize.
Funding is intended to help partners sustain and improve the practical, on-the-ground capacity needed to support flood mapping and related risk work. While mapping is a central theme, the opportunity explicitly notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues. In other words, proposals are not limited strictly to GIS or cartography; they can also cover program management and other supporting activities that contribute to identifying flood hazards and understanding flood risk, as long as they align with the yearly guidance for the CTP Program.
To be eligible, an applicant must already be a recognized partner in the CTP Program and must either be an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Beyond formal status, FEMA also requires applicants to demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded activities and that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support work contributing to flood hazard and risk identification. This requirement signals that the program is designed to build on existing local, state, tribal, nonprofit, or institutional capacity rather than to create brand-new programs from scratch.
The eligible applicant types listed are broad and include county governments; city or township governments; state governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can reduce barriers for applicants that have limited ability to provide cash match, though applicants still need to show they have existing, non-federal processes/systems supporting the work.
For this specific posting, FEMA anticipated making about 50 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $69,000,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination, technical direction, review of deliverables, and alignment with FEMA standards), rather than the more hands-off relationship often associated with a standard grant.
The notice was posted on August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and it was archived on September 25, 2011. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov).
