Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners Program Region 9 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region 9 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 MT 045 009 99) is a FEMA Region 9 discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement. Its core goal is to fund qualified Cooperating Technical Partners so they can carry out program management work and technical activities tied to flood risk analysis and flood hazard mapping. In practice, this funding is meant to support the ongoing work that helps FEMA and local partners identify, analyze, and communicate flood hazards and related risks, which ultimately feeds into better floodplain management and more accurate mapping products used by communities and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

A central requirement is that applicants must already be recognized CTPs, meaning they have an active, signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. Beyond simply having the agreement, recipients must either be an NFIP community in good standing or be applying on behalf of, or representing, an NFIP community that is in good standing. FEMA also expects recipients to demonstrate they can meet CTP Program performance metrics and can produce timely, accurate performance and achievement reporting back to FEMA. This is not framed as a one-time deliverable grant; it is built around ongoing coordination, measurable performance, and consistent documentation.

Another major eligibility expectation is that the applicant already has non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard and risk identification work. That requirement signals that FEMA is looking for partners who already have operational capacity and internal infrastructure, and that federal dollars will strengthen, extend, or accelerate established capabilities rather than create them from scratch. Applicants must also show they have the technical capability to perform the funded work and must agree to use FEMA systems for managing and tracking work. Specifically, recipients must perform work in FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep activities updated in the MIP at least every 30 days within the Studies Workflow, with more frequent updates expected within the Revisions Workflow. This emphasis on the MIP and regular updates reflects FEMA's focus on transparency, project tracking, and standardized workflows across mapping and related risk analysis efforts.

The announcement notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues. While flood mapping commonly includes GIS and other geospatial components, this language broadens the scope to include supporting activities that could be more programmatic or analytical rather than strictly map-production work. In other words, FEMA is leaving room for a mix of mapping, risk assessment, management, and related technical tasks that contribute to the overall flood hazard and risk identification mission.

The opportunity was posted on July 25, 2013, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,940,000 and an expected 10 awards. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates that specific award sizes are not preset in the public summary and may depend on project scope, negotiated budgets, or available funds at the time of selection. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients should expect they will need to contribute non-federal resources in line with program rules and the specific terms FEMA sets for the award.

Eligible applicant types 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 nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The program is associated with CFDA (now generally referred to as Assistance Listing) 97.045, Cooperating Technical Partners. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, aligning with the technical nature of flood risk analysis, engineering methods, and mapping-related work products.

Key dates in the record include an original closing date of August 11, 2013, later extended to August 16, 2013, and an archive date of September 10, 2013. For those seeking additional details, the listing points to FEMA's Cooperating Technical Partners program webpage (as provided in the announcement) and provides a technical contact for access issues: Systems and Business Support Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
