Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 045 007; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary FEMA program administered through a cooperative agreement that helps fund eligible partners to carry out flood mapping and related technical activities. The central goal is to strengthen flood hazard identification by supporting work that contributes to the creation, update, or improvement of flood hazard data and mapping products, with specific eligible activities defined each fiscal year in the program guidance. While the program is rooted in mapping and flood risk work, the notice makes clear that funded projects or initiatives may or may not be strictly geospatial in nature, as long as they support flood hazard identification outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to entities that are already CTP partners and that either are, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. Applicants also must demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded activities and that they already maintain non-federally funded processes and/or systems that support efforts tied to flood hazard identification. In practical terms, the program is designed for partners that already have some baseline capacity and ongoing infrastructure in place, with federal funds used to advance or accelerate defined mapping-related work rather than to build capability from scratch.
The opportunity lists a broad range of eligible applicant types, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other entities as clarified in the full announcement. It also notes eligibility information for multi-jurisdictional entities, indicating that certain regional or collaborative applicants spanning more than one jurisdiction may apply where consistent with program rules.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, uses a grant funding instrument, and does not require cost sharing or matching. The announcement was posted February 25, 2008, with an original closing date of March 28, 2008, later extended to a current closing date of July 31, 2008, and an archive date of August 30, 2008. The issuing agency is listed as Region 7, and additional program information was provided through FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ctpmain.shtm. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief (bianca.costa@dhs.gov).
