Cooperating Technical Partners | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 045 003) is a discretionary FEMA program administered through a cooperative agreement, intended to strengthen flood hazard mapping and related risk identification work carried out by qualified partner organizations. The core purpose is to provide funds so that existing CTP partners can complete mapping-related activities identified in FEMA program guidance for each fiscal year. While the program is strongly tied to flood mapping, the announcement also makes clear that eligible projects may or may not be strictly geospatial in nature, as long as they support flood hazard identification and the broader goals of the program.

To be eligible, an applicant must already be a participating partner in the CTP program and must either be, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. Applicants also need to demonstrate that they have the capability to carry out the proposed FEMA-funded work and that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard identification. This emphasis suggests FEMA is looking to invest in organizations with proven, ongoing programs and infrastructure, rather than funding groups that would need to build foundational capacity from scratch.

The eligible applicant pool includes state and local governments (states, counties, cities or townships), federally recognized tribal governments, and higher education institutions (both public and private, including state-controlled institutions). The notice also references multi-jurisdictional entities, indicating that regional or collaborative bodies representing multiple communities may apply when they meet the program requirements and can coordinate mapping or flood-risk related initiatives across boundaries.

This opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development and is associated with CFDA number 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). The funding instrument type is listed as a grant, but the program operates through a cooperative agreement structure, which typically implies a closer working relationship with FEMA during project execution than a standard grant. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.

Key dates listed in the announcement include an original closing date of March 28, 2008, which was later extended to a current closing date of July 31, 2008. The opportunity was posted February 25, 2008, with an archive date of August 30, 2008. The administering office is FEMA Region 3, and additional program information was linked through FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ctpmain.shtm. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact provided is Bianca Costa (DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief) at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
