Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region VIII | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program for FEMA Region VIII is a discretionary federal grant opportunity (offered as a Cooperative Agreement) designed to strengthen flood hazard mapping and related program management work that supports the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In practical terms, the funding is meant to help approved CTP partners carry out FEMA-defined activities for a given fiscal year, especially tasks connected to flood hazard identification and the production, maintenance, or improvement of flood mapping products. While mapping is a central theme, the announcement also makes clear that eligible projects do not have to be strictly geospatial, as long as they support flood hazard identification and related program outcomes.

The award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates FEMA expects substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating technical direction, reviewing deliverables, aligning work with FEMA standards and guidance, and ensuring outputs integrate into broader flood mapping and risk identification efforts). The funding activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting the technical nature of flood hazard analysis, data development, and mapping workflows. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity.

Eligibility is focused on organizations that are already involved in, or capable of effectively participating in, the CTP framework. To qualify, applicants must be a partner in the CTP program, and they must either be an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Applicants also need to demonstrate the capability to perform the funded activities and must already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard identification work. The intent behind this requirement is that FEMA is investing in partners with proven, ongoing capacity and infrastructure rather than building that capacity from scratch using federal funds. The opportunity also mentions multi-jurisdictional entities, which signals that regional collaborations (such as councils of governments or similar joint authorities) may be eligible when they represent participating NFIP communities and can carry out the work.

A wide range of applicant types are listed as potentially eligible, including state governments, county and city/township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled universities, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) organizations). This mix reflects the reality that floodplain management and mapping capacity often sits across different sectors, from state hazard offices to local governments, universities with technical expertise, and nonprofit entities that support community resilience. The announcement notes that additional eligibility clarification may exist in the full posting, which is typical for FEMA programs where partnership status and NFIP standing are critical qualifiers.

In terms of scale and timing, this particular announcement (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-10-MT-045-008-01) was posted March 30, 2010, with an application closing date of September 15, 2010, and an archive date of October 15, 2010. FEMA anticipated up to 30 awards under this notice, with an estimated total funding amount of $44,000,000. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), which is the standard federal catalog identifier used for tracking and reporting federal assistance programs.

For applicants seeking more detail on program expectations, FEMA referenced its CTP program webpage (at the time of posting) and provided contact support through the FEMA Call Center and an email point of contact for help accessing the full announcement. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a capacity-and-deliverables grant aimed at established CTP partners who can produce FEMA-aligned flood hazard identification outputs, manage mapping-related workflows, and contribute to the NFIP’s broader flood risk management mission in Region VIII.
