Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 045 008; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary FEMA program administered through Region 8 that uses a cooperative agreement to help qualified partners carry out flood mapping-related work. The central goal is to ensure that recognized CTP partners have the funding support needed to perform specific mapping activities identified in the CTP program guidance for each fiscal year. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen flood hazard identification efforts that support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), including the technical work and supporting processes that feed into reliable flood risk information and mapping products.

Eligibility is tied to being part of the CTP program and having a clear connection to NFIP community participation. To be considered, an applicant must already be a CTP partner and must either be (or represent) an NFIP community in good standing. Applicants also need to demonstrate they have the capability to carry out the funded work and, importantly, that they already maintain non-federally funded processes and/or systems that support activities contributing to flood hazard identification. In other words, the grant is not meant to build an operation from scratch; it is meant to fund partners who already have functioning infrastructure, workflows, or technical systems in place and can use federal support to execute defined mapping-related tasks effectively. The opportunity notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, which signals that FEMA is open to funding not only GIS-heavy mapping production, but also other supporting technical or programmatic activities that still advance flood hazard identification.

A broad range of entities may apply, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other applicants as clarified in the full announcement. The listing also highlights multi-jurisdictional entities, indicating that regional or collaborative applicants that represent multiple communities may be eligible where consistent with program rules. The funding instrument type is a grant/cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects substantial involvement or coordination during the project period, rather than a hands-off award.

There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity. Key dates in the posting indicate it was originally posted February 25, 2008, created June 13, 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.
