Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region IV | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region IV is a FEMA discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support flood hazard identification work tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central goal is to provide funding so approved CTP partners can carry out program management and mapping-related activities that FEMA defines each fiscal year in its program guidance. In practice, this means helping partners maintain and improve the technical work and coordination needed to produce, update, or support flood hazard information that feeds into FEMA flood mapping and related NFIP functions. While mapping is a key theme, the announcement notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial components, which leaves room for supporting activities that strengthen flood hazard identification even when they are not strictly GIS or cartography tasks.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already partners in the CTP program and that either are an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Applicants also need to demonstrate they can 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 identification. The notice also highlights multi-jurisdictional entities in its eligibility information, reflecting that flood risk and watershed issues often cross local boundaries and that collaborative regional approaches are common.

A wide range of applicant types are listed as eligible, provided they meet the CTP and NFIP-related conditions. These include state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), other than institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals more active federal involvement or collaboration during the period of performance than a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, consistent with the technical nature of flood hazard analysis and mapping support.

For this specific posting (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-MT-045-004-01), FEMA anticipated making about 30 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $44,000,000. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the opportunity summary. The opportunity was posted March 30, 2010, with an application closing date of September 15, 2010, and an archive date of October 15, 2010.
