Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region III | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program for Region III is a FEMA grant opportunity that uses a cooperative agreement to fund partners who help carry out flood hazard mapping and related program management work. The central goal is to strengthen flood hazard identification efforts that support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Funding is intended to help recipients perform mapping-related activities and other tasks outlined in FEMA's CTP program guidance for each fiscal year, meaning the exact work supported can vary depending on the annual guidance but generally centers on improving, updating, or managing flood hazard data and products.

This opportunity is discretionary and was released under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 MT 045 003 01, with the title "Cooperating Technical Partners Program - Region III." The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects substantial involvement or collaboration during the period of performance (for example, coordination on technical standards, deliverables, timelines, and quality assurance). The activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting the technical and analytical nature of flood mapping and hazard identification work. FEMA anticipated making about 30 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $44,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity.

Eligibility is oriented toward entities that can function as FEMA technical partners and that can demonstrate they are already positioned to contribute to flood hazard identification. Applicants must be CTP program partners and must either be, or represent, an NFIP community in good standing. Beyond that, FEMA 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 identification. In other words, the program is not designed to build capacity from scratch; it is meant to fund organizations that already have operational systems, workflows, and technical competence and can integrate federal support into an existing program. The announcement also highlights multi-jurisdictional entities, which fits the reality that flood hazards and watersheds often cross city, county, or other boundary lines.

A wide range of applicant types are listed as eligible, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status). The listing also includes a catch-all "others" category with clarification referenced in the full announcement, reinforcing that FEMA may allow additional partner structures so long as they meet CTP and NFIP-related requirements. While the program is heavily associated with mapping, the notice makes a point that eligible projects may or may not involve geospatial issues, which suggests FEMA is also willing to fund complementary activities tied to flood hazard identification and program management that are not strictly GIS or map-production tasks (for example, coordination, data management processes, technical reviews, or other supporting functions identified in annual guidance).

Key dates for this specific posting include a posted and creation date of March 30, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2010, and an archive date of October 15, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). Additional program information was provided through FEMA's CTP webpage, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to contact the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 or email ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
