Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region VII | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region VII grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 MT 045 007 01; CFDA 97.045) is a FEMA-administered discretionary funding program offered through a Cooperative Agreement. Its central goal is to fund partners so they can carry out program management and mapping-related work that supports FEMA's flood hazard identification efforts. The specific tasks that can be supported are set out in the CTP program guidance for each fiscal year, which means the scope is anchored in FEMA's annual priorities and standards rather than being a single fixed project template.

This opportunity is designed for entities that are already CTP partners (or that represent a community participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, NFIP) and that are in good standing with NFIP requirements. In practical terms, FEMA is looking for applicants who can demonstrate they are positioned to do the work immediately and responsibly: they must have the capability to perform the funded activities and, importantly, must already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard identification. That requirement signals that FEMA expects recipients to bring established internal capacity such as existing data workflows, technical staff, local program infrastructure, or other operational systems that complement FEMA funding rather than relying on the award to build basic capability from scratch.

While the program is strongly associated with flood mapping and related technical work, the announcement makes clear that eligible projects or initiatives "may or may not involve geospatial issues." That language broadens the possible work beyond pure GIS or map production and can include other types of program management or flood hazard identification support activities recognized in the yearly guidance. The cooperative agreement structure also matters: unlike a simple grant where the recipient operates largely independently, a cooperative agreement generally reflects a more substantial level of federal involvement and coordination during the period of performance, which fits a program built around national standards, consistent methods, and shared mapping and risk communication goals.

Eligible applicants are broad and include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, multi-jurisdictional entities, public and private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status). The eligibility notes specifically emphasize multi-jurisdictional entities, which aligns with the regional, watershed, and cross-boundary nature of flood risk and floodplain management work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a formal match as a condition of the award, although they still need to show they have existing non-federal systems and capabilities that support the work.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted March 30, 2010, with an application closing date of September 15, 2010, and an archive date of October 15, 2010. FEMA estimated total available funding at $44,000,000 and anticipated making around 30 awards, indicating the program is sized for multiple recipients across the region and potentially a range of project scales. The listed funding activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development, which reflects the technical and analytical nature of flood hazard identification, mapping, and associated program support activities.
