Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region VI | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region VI grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 MT 045 006 01) is a discretionary FEMA funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support flood hazard identification work connected to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its core purpose is to provide funding so approved CTP partners can carry out program management and mapping related activities that are laid out in FEMA program guidance each fiscal year. In practical terms, this funding is meant to help participating partners plan, manage, and complete technical work that improves flood hazard data and flood mapping products used for risk communication and floodplain management.

Funding is provided as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means FEMA expects substantial involvement in the work, such as coordination on priorities, oversight, and adherence to FEMA technical standards and annual guidance. The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the technical nature of flood hazard assessment and mapping, though FEMA notes that eligible projects may or may not involve geospatial components. That means applicants can propose initiatives that are not purely GIS or mapping production, as long as they support the broader goal of flood hazard identification and align with the CTP guidance for that fiscal year.

Eligibility is geared toward entities that are already part of the CTP program and that can demonstrate readiness to carry out the work. Recipients must be a CTP partner and must either be an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Applicants also need to show they have the capability to perform the funded activities and that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard identification. This requirement signals that FEMA is looking for partners with existing operational capacity (for example, established floodplain management programs, technical staff, engineering or GIS workflows, or ongoing data maintenance practices) rather than groups starting from scratch.

The eligible applicant types listed are broad and include 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 nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status). The announcement also mentions multi-jurisdictional entities, which is important for regional collaborations such as councils of governments, watershed partnerships, or other consortium-style applicants that coordinate flood risk work across multiple communities.

The scale of the opportunity is significant. FEMA estimated total funding at $44,000,000 and anticipated making about 30 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this announcement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible public-sector and nonprofit partners and allows proposals to focus on technical merit, readiness, and alignment with FEMA priorities rather than local match capacity.

Key dates for this specific posting were a posted and creation date of March 30, 2010, with an application deadline of September 15, 2010, and an archive date of October 15, 2010. The associated CFDA number is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), which is the federal assistance listing tied to the CTP program.
