Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region 1 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region 1 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 MT 045 001 99, CFDA 97.045) is a FEMA Region 1 discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to support flood hazard, risk analysis, and mapping-related work. The central goal is to provide funding so designated Cooperating Technical Partners can carry out program management activities and technical tasks that contribute to identifying and communicating flood hazards and flood risk, which ultimately supports FEMA flood mapping and the broader National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) mission. While many funded efforts are tied to mapping and risk analysis, FEMA notes that eligible projects or initiatives under this announcement may or may not involve geospatial issues, which leaves room for both technical and programmatic support work that advances flood risk identification.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already part of the CTP Program, meaning the applicant must be a Cooperating Technical Partner with a signed Partnership Agreement in place with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. In addition, the recipient must either be an NFIP community in good standing or be able to represent one, reinforcing that the work is intended to directly support communities participating appropriately in the federal flood insurance framework. FEMA also expects applicants to demonstrate they can meet CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely, accurate reporting that documents progress and achievements. Another key requirement is that the applicant already has non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support activities contributing to flood hazard and risk identification, indicating FEMA is looking to invest in partners with established capacity rather than building that capacity from scratch.

Operationally, recipients must have the capability to perform the funded activities and must agree to carry out work using FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP). A specific ongoing obligation is keeping project activity information current in the MIP by updating the Studies Workflow at least every 30 days, and updating more frequently when operating within the Revisions Workflow. This emphasizes FEMA's focus on transparency, standardized workflow tracking, and consistent communication on project status throughout the lifecycle of mapping or related risk analysis efforts.

From a funding standpoint, FEMA anticipated making about 6 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $325,000. The notice indicates cost sharing or matching is required, so recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost, consistent with many FEMA partnership-style assistance agreements. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically signals that individual award sizes may be determined based on project scope, available funds, and negotiation under the cooperative agreement rather than a fixed minimum or maximum amount being stated in the synopsis.

Eligible applicant types include a broad mix of public and certain nonprofit entities, as long as they meet the CTP and NFIP-related requirements. Eligible categories listed are city or township governments, special district governments, county governments, state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is described as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the technical nature of flood risk analysis and mapping work, even when some activities may be managerial or process-oriented.

The opportunity was posted July 25, 2013, created August 12, 2013, and had an original closing date of August 11, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of August 16, 2013, with an archive date of September 10, 2013. For support accessing the announcement, FEMA provided a contact within the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov). An additional information link was provided to FEMA's Cooperating Technical Partners program webpage.
