Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 045 009) is a discretionary FEMA Region 9 program that provides grant funding through a cooperative agreement to support flood mapping and related technical work. The core goal is to make sure approved CTP partners have the resources to carry out mapping-related activities identified in the CTP program guidance for each fiscal year. In practice, this opportunity is meant to strengthen flood hazard identification by helping partners contribute data, studies, and technical products that support FEMA's flood hazard mapping and the broader National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) framework.
To be eligible, an applicant must already be a partner in the CTP program and must either be an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. The applicant also needs to show it can actually perform the funded work and, importantly, that it already has non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support activities tied to flood hazard identification. The emphasis on existing non-federal capacity suggests FEMA is looking to fund partners who can integrate federal support into established programs, rather than build an operation from scratch.
Eligible applicants span a broad range of governmental and educational entities, including state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and multi-jurisdictional entities (with the listing noting that "others" may also qualify depending on the additional eligibility language in the full announcement). The funding instrument is listed as a grant, and the activity category is framed under science and technology and other research and development, reflecting the technical nature of mapping, data development, and hazard analysis work that often sits behind floodplain management decisions.
Projects funded under this announcement are centered on mapping-related activities, but FEMA notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues. That wording leaves room for work that supports mapping outcomes indirectly, such as programmatic processes, technical reviews, quality assurance activities, or other flood hazard identification support functions that do not necessarily produce GIS layers themselves, as long as they contribute to the flood hazard identification mission and align with the annual program guidance.
There is no cost share or matching requirement listed for this opportunity, which can lower the barrier to participation for eligible partners. Key dates for this posting include an original posted date of February 25, 2008, an original closing date of March 28, 2008, and a current closing date of July 31, 2008, with an archive date of August 30, 2008. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), which is the federal assistance listing identifier commonly used for tracking and administrative purposes.
For more information, FEMA referenced the CTP program page at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ctpmain.shtm. If access to the full announcement was difficult, the listed contact was Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief, reachable at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
