Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 045 009 99) is a discretionary funding announcement administered under FEMA Region 9 to support partners who help carry out flood hazard mapping and related program management work tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means FEMA expects an ongoing working relationship with recipients during the period of performance rather than a simple pass-through grant. The overarching purpose is to make sure CTP partners have the resources to complete mapping-related and management activities that are laid out in the CTP program guidance for each fiscal year. While much of the program is rooted in flood mapping, the announcement also notes that proposed projects or initiatives may or may not be geospatial in nature, as long as they contribute to identifying and understanding flood hazards and flood risk.
To be eligible, an applicant must already be a partner in the CTP Program and must either be, or represent, an NFIP community in good standing. In practical terms, that means FEMA is looking for entities that are already integrated into the CTP framework and are actively participating in NFIP compliance and standing requirements. Beyond formal eligibility, FEMA also expects recipients to have the capability to perform the funded activities and to already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support work contributing to flood hazard and risk identification. This emphasis signals that the program is meant to strengthen and extend existing technical and administrative capacity rather than build it from scratch; applicants should be able to show that they already run relevant workflows, maintain systems, or otherwise have established operational practices that the federal funding will enhance.
The eligible applicant types listed are broad and include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education may apply, and certain nonprofits are eligible as well, specifically those with IRS 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education. The funding instrument is explicitly a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting the technical nature of flood hazard identification and mapping support work. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier to participation for eligible partners.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the notice projected around 50 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $69,000,000. The CFDA number is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), which is the program identifier used for federal assistance tracking. The opportunity was posted and created on August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and it was archived on September 25, 2011. Additional information was made available through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov). For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided a technical contact point through the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
