Cooperating Technical Partners | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 045 006; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary FEMA program administered through Region 6 that provides grant funding via a cooperative agreement to support flood mapping and related technical activities. The central goal is to ensure that approved CTP partners have the resources to carry out mapping-related work that FEMA defines and updates through program guidance each fiscal year. While the program is closely tied to flood hazard mapping and identification, the announcement notes that funded projects or initiatives may or may not be strictly geospatial in nature, meaning the scope can include supporting technical, data, or process improvements that contribute to flood hazard identification even if they are not traditional GIS or mapping deliverables.

To be eligible, applicants must already be part of the CTP program and must either be, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community that is in good standing. In practical terms, this points to applicants that are actively engaged in FEMA floodplain management and NFIP participation without compliance issues that would jeopardize standing. Applicants also need to demonstrate they can actually perform the proposed funded activities and that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support work contributing to flood hazard identification. This requirement suggests FEMA is looking to invest in partners with established capabilities and operational infrastructure, not organizations starting from scratch, and that federal dollars are intended to strengthen and accelerate existing programs rather than fully build them.

The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity also allows applications from public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with other entities as further clarified in the full announcement. The eligibility information indicates that multi-jurisdictional entities are included, which is relevant for regional authorities, councils of governments, watershed or basin-focused collaborations, or other shared-service arrangements that can represent multiple NFIP communities and coordinate flood hazard work across boundaries.

This grant does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the barrier for participation compared to programs that require a local match. The funding instrument is identified as a grant, with the mechanism described as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies more substantial federal involvement in oversight, coordination, and technical direction than a standard grant. The activity category is listed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting the program’s technical emphasis and its role in improving the data, methods, and products that support flood risk identification and floodplain management.

Key dates for this specific posting show it was initially posted February 25, 2008, created June 13, 2008, with an original closing date of March 28, 2008 that was later extended to a current closing date of July 31, 2008. The archive date is August 30, 2008, indicating this particular announcement is historical, although the CTP program itself has continued in various forms over time.
