Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program for FEMA Region 1 is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. Its core purpose is to strengthen and improve the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and sustaining practical working partnerships across federal, state, tribal, regional, and local levels. The program is designed to help reduce flood losses and support community resiliency by improving how flood risk is identified, mapped, managed, and communicated. In practice, FEMA uses the CTP Program to encourage deeper local involvement and long-term ownership of flood hazard data and flood risk products, especially Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related datasets and tools that communities rely on for sound floodplain management and mitigation decisions.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects to stay involved during the period of performance through coordination, guidance, technical support, and oversight. The work supported under this program can include program management activities, technical flood risk analysis and mapping tasks, and improved communication of flood hazard and risk information to officials, stakeholders, and the public. A major emphasis is ensuring that NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and participating NFIP communities can continue meeting their ongoing regulatory responsibilities under the NFIP, while also helping states, communities, and both public and private-sector partners take concrete steps to mitigate flood risk.
Only qualified Cooperating Technical Partners can receive awards under this opportunity. To be eligible, an applicant must already be a CTP, meaning it must have an active, signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. In addition, the applicant must either be (or represent) an NFIP community in good standing, or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission supports NFIP goals and objectives. FEMA also expects partners to bring existing, non-federally funded capabilities to the table. Specifically, applicants should already have processes or systems in place for collecting, developing, evaluating, disseminating, and communicating flood hazard and flood risk assessment data and mapping. The applicant must show it can carry out the proposed activities effectively, meet CTP Program performance metrics, and deliver timely, accurate performance reporting to FEMA. Where applicable, the partner must also be willing to perform work within FEMAs Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep activities updated at least every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently when operating in the Revisions Workflow).
FEMA strongly encourages prospective applicants to coordinate with FEMA ahead of submitting an application so the applicant understands current FEMA priorities, objectives, and measurement expectations, and so both sides can shape a realistic set of tasks. FEMA may also provide support beyond dollars, including technical assistance, training, or relevant data that helps partners complete work within the program categories. Importantly, FEMA notes that any federal funds awarded are intended to supplement, not replace, the leveraged resources and data that the CTP itself may contribute to complete the agreed-upon tasks. Once an award is made, the recipient must comply with the requirements in the funding announcement, all award terms and conditions, and the existing Partnership Agreement along with the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement.
For this Region 1 FY 2015 posting, the Funding Opportunity Number is DHS 15 MT 045 001 01 and the CFDA number is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). FEMA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $567,850. The posting indicated no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted June 15, 2015, with a closing date that was updated from August 20, 2015 to August 14, 2015, and it was archived September 15, 2015. Eligible applicant types listed include federally recognized tribal governments, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), along with others as approved by FEMA Headquarters. The administering agency is FEMA within DHS, and technical or access issues were directed to the FEMA contact email: GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
