Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region 10 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program opportunity for FEMA Region 10 is a discretionary cooperative agreement meant to fund qualified partners who help FEMA carry out flood hazard and flood risk identification work. The core idea behind the program is to strengthen FEMA's mapping and risk analysis efforts by supporting entities that already have local or regional capability, data, and processes, and can coordinate closely with FEMA while meeting defined performance and reporting expectations. While many projects naturally touch geospatial mapping and data, FEMA notes that eligible projects or initiatives under this announcement may or may not be strictly geospatial, as long as they support the broader technical risk analysis, mapping, and program management goals of the CTP program.

To be eligible, an applicant must already be a Cooperating Technical Partner, meaning they must have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. In addition, the recipient must either be, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. FEMA also expects applicants to demonstrate that they can meet CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely, accurate performance reporting that documents progress and achievements. A key readiness requirement is that the applicant already has non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard and risk identification activities, which signals that FEMA is looking for partners that can stand up work quickly rather than building foundational capability from scratch using federal funds.

Operationally, funded partners must be able to carry out the approved activities and agree to use FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) to manage and track work. Recipients are expected to update activities in the MIP at least every 30 days in the Studies Workflow, and even more frequently for items moving through the Revisions Workflow. This reflects FEMA's emphasis on consistent project management, transparency, and keeping mapping and risk products current as they move through production and update cycles. In practical terms, the opportunity supports not only technical production work, but also the management discipline needed to deliver mapping and risk analysis outputs on schedule and in a way FEMA can monitor and integrate.

The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 MT 045 010 99) was posted July 25, 2013, with an original closing date of August 11, 2013, later extended to August 16, 2013, and archived September 10, 2013. FEMA anticipated making about 8 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,035,000. The listing is associated with CFDA 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program's matching rules. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically indicates that specific award sizes vary by project scope and are not bounded in the posting itself.

Eligible applicant types are broad within the public and nonprofit sphere, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than higher education institutions). Even though many entity types can apply, the gating requirement is CTP status and the NFIP good-standing connection, so organizations that do not already have the FEMA partnership agreement in place would generally need to establish that relationship before they could be considered under this particular announcement. The awarding/administrating office is FEMA Region 10.

For additional details, FEMA pointed applicants to the CTP program page (as provided in the announcement). For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
