Cooperating Technical Partners | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 045 010, CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary FEMA program administered through Region 10 that uses cooperative agreements to fund mapping-related work that supports flood hazard identification. In practical terms, the program is meant to strengthen and expand the ability of participating partners to contribute technical data, analyses, and other products that feed into FEMA's flood mapping and risk identification efforts. The specific activities that can be funded are set out in the CTP program guidance for each fiscal year, so the eligible work is tied to whatever FEMA defines and prioritizes in that year.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already participating as CTP partners and that either are, or formally represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community that is in good standing. Applicants also have to show they can actually carry out the proposed work and that they already maintain non-federally funded processes or systems that support flood hazard identification. That last requirement signals that FEMA is not looking to pay for an organization to build basic capacity from scratch; instead, the grant is designed to supplement and leverage existing technical programs, workflows, and infrastructure that are already operating with non-federal support.

A notable point in the announcement is that funded projects may or may not involve geospatial issues. While flood mapping often relies heavily on GIS, surveying, topography, and hydrologic or hydraulic modeling, the program leaves room for other types of mapping-related or support activities that still contribute to identifying flood hazards. The cooperative agreement structure also implies closer coordination with FEMA than a standard grant, with FEMA typically having more involvement in oversight, technical direction, and alignment with federal mapping standards and priorities.

Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other entities as clarified in the full notice. The listing also mentions multi-jurisdictional entities, reflecting that flood risk frequently crosses municipal boundaries and that regional or collaborative applicants may be appropriate when the work spans multiple communities or watersheds.

The opportunity was originally posted February 25, 2008, created June 13, 2008, with an original closing date of March 28, 2008 and a revised closing date of July 31, 2008. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the notice. Additional program information is linked through FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/ctpmain.shtm, and the contact for access issues with the full announcement is Bianca Costa (DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief) at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
