Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region 5 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region 5 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 MT 045 005 99; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary funding announcement from FEMA Region 5 that uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Its core purpose is to fund eligible Cooperating Technical Partners so they can carry out program management work and technical activities tied to flood risk analysis and flood hazard mapping. While many projects naturally involve mapping and geospatial data, the announcement notes that eligible initiatives may or may not be geospatial in nature, as long as they support flood hazard and risk identification and related program objectives.

Only organizations that are already recognized as CTPs can receive funding. In practice, that means the applicant 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 that is in good standing. Applicants are also expected to show they can meet CTP Program performance metrics, provide timely and accurate performance reporting to FEMA, and demonstrate they have existing processes and/or systems that are not federally funded but still support activities contributing to flood hazard and risk identification. FEMA is also looking for partners with the capability to carry out the funded work using FEMA systems, including a commitment to perform work in the Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and to keep project activities current by updating the MIP at least every 30 days within the Studies Workflow, with more frequent updates required in the Revisions Workflow.

The opportunity lists a broad range of eligible applicant types, as long as the CTP requirement is satisfied. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The funding activity category is identified as science and technology and other research and development, reflecting FEMA's emphasis on technical analysis and risk/mapping-related deliverables. The program also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the specific terms FEMA sets for the cooperative agreement.

For this Region 5 FY 2013 cycle, FEMA anticipated making around 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,392,000. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as 0), which typically signals that award sizes may vary based on project scope, regional priorities, and available funds rather than being constrained to a published minimum or maximum. Key dates show the announcement was posted July 25, 2013, with an original closing date of August 11, 2013, later extended to August 16, 2013; the archive date is September 10, 2013.

Applicants seeking more information were directed to FEMA's CTP program resources (the announcement provides a FEMA link), and technical access issues with the full announcement were routed to FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch via the provided email contact (GMD_Systems_Branch@fema.gov).
