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

Opportunity Summary:

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 MT 045 000 01; CFDA 97.045) was a discretionary FEMA program offered under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and awarded through cooperative agreements. Its core purpose was to provide funding that helps established Cooperating Technical Partners carry out program management work along with technical flood risk analysis and flood mapping efforts. In practical terms, the program was designed to strengthen FEMA's flood hazard identification and risk communication by supporting qualified partners who can contribute data, studies, and mapping-related activities that feed into FEMA's broader flood mapping mission.

Eligibility was limited to organizations that already held CTP status, meaning the applicant had to have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. In addition, the applicant needed to be, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. FEMA also emphasized performance and accountability: recipients had to demonstrate they could meet CTP Program performance metrics, submit timely and accurate progress reporting to FEMA, and document results and achievements in a consistent way. Another key expectation was operational readiness. Applicants needed to already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support flood hazard and risk identification work, and they needed to show they had the technical capability to complete the activities proposed for funding.

A specific program requirement centered on FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP). Awardees had to agree to conduct the funded work within the MIP environment and keep project information current, including updates at least every 30 days within the Studies Workflow, and more frequently when operating within the Revisions Workflow. This requirement reflects FEMA's need for consistent project tracking, standardized documentation, and visibility into the status of studies and revisions that affect flood hazard products and related deliverables. While much of the CTP Program is closely associated with mapping and geospatial workflows, FEMA noted that eligible projects under this announcement may or may not involve geospatial issues, leaving room for related program management and risk analysis activities that support mapping outcomes without necessarily being GIS-focused.

The opportunity anticipated roughly 10 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $2,132,000. The posting date was July 25, 2013, with an original closing date of August 11, 2013, later extended to August 16, 2013, and the archive date listed as September 11, 2013. The announcement indicated that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning recipients were expected to contribute resources beyond the federal share, consistent with the cooperative nature of the program and its emphasis on leveraging existing partner capabilities and systems.

Eligible applicant types included a wide range of public-sector and certain nonprofit entities, but again only insofar as they met the CTP status requirement. These applicant categories included state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, special district governments, county governments, city or township governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education. For support accessing the full announcement, FEMA provided a contact point through the GMD Systems Branch at the email address listed in the notice, and referenced FEMA's CTP program webpage for additional program information.
