Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region 4 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 MT 045 004 99; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary FEMA Region 4 funding announcement that supports partners who help FEMA carry out flood hazard identification, risk analysis, and flood mapping work tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means FEMA expects substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination, technical direction, review, and use of FEMA systems and standards), rather than a more hands-off relationship typical of some grants. The overall intent is to ensure capable CTPs have the resources to manage mapping-related workloads and produce timely technical outputs that improve flood hazard and risk information for communities.
Eligibility is centered on being an established Cooperating Technical Partner, meaning the applicant must already have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. In addition, recipients must either be, or formally represent, an NFIP community in good standing. FEMA also requires applicants to show they can meet CTP Program performance metrics and can provide timely, accurate reporting to document progress and results. A key readiness expectation is that the applicant already has non-federally funded processes and/or systems that support flood hazard and risk identification activities, and that the organization has the technical capacity to perform the funded scope of work. Recipients must also agree to carry out work using FEMA’s Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep project activity records current by updating the Studies Workflow at least every 30 days (and more often for items in the Revisions Workflow), which signals that consistent project tracking and transparency in FEMA’s systems is a required part of performance.
The types of projects supported are described broadly as program management and technical risk analysis and mapping activities. While many CTP efforts are naturally geospatial and mapping-heavy, the announcement explicitly notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, which leaves room for related program support work that still advances FEMA’s flood hazard and risk identification mission. The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the technical nature of flood risk analysis, engineering, and mapping production that CTPs often perform in coordination with FEMA.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, FEMA anticipated making around 11 awards under this notice, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,377,000. The notice lists no specific award floor or ceiling (both shown as 0), which typically indicates that award sizes can vary and are determined by FEMA based on project scope, available funds, and regional priorities rather than fixed minimums or maximums stated in the synopsis. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with program rules and the terms of the cooperative agreement. Eligible applicant types include state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category), and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, as long as they meet the CTP and NFIP standing requirements described above.
Key dates in the posting indicate it was posted July 25, 2013, created August 12, 2013, with an original closing date of August 11, 2013 and a current closing date of August 16, 2013; the archive date was September 10, 2013. The sponsoring agency office is FEMA Region 4. For further details and program background, the announcement points to FEMA’s Cooperating Technical Partners program page (http://www.fema.gov/cooperating technical partners program/cooperating technical partners program). For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is the Systems and Business Support Branch (GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov), which suggests technical assistance was available particularly for accessing documents or navigating FEMA’s systems-related requirements.
