Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region 8 funding opportunity (DHS 15 MT 045 008 01) is a FEMA discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to strengthen and expand the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central idea is to build and sustain strong working partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities so communities can better understand flood risk, reduce flood losses, and improve long-term resiliency. Through these partnerships, FEMA supports work that helps NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities keep up with their ongoing NFIP regulatory responsibilities while also advancing broader flood risk mitigation across the public and private sectors.
This program is especially focused on improving the quality, usefulness, and local ownership of flood risk data and mapping products, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other flood hazard and risk products. FEMA uses the CTP structure to encourage capable partners to take a more direct role in the development, maintenance, and communication of flood hazard information, with the goal of making flood mapping and risk products more accurate, current, and actionable for local decision-making. Funded activities may cover program management support, technical flood risk analysis and mapping work, and outreach or communication efforts that help communities understand and use flood hazard data.
Eligibility is limited to qualified CTP partners. To receive an award, an applicant must already be a Cooperating Technical Partner, meaning it has a 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 aligns with NFIP goals. FEMA also expects applicants to have existing non-federally funded systems or processes that support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination, and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping. Applicants must demonstrate the capability to carry out the proposed work, meet CTP performance metrics, and provide timely and accurate performance reporting to FEMA. Where applicable, recipients must also be willing to conduct and track work in FEMA systems, including using the Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and updating study-related activities at least every 30 days (and more frequently for revisions workflows).
FEMA encourages prospective applicants to coordinate with FEMA before applying to understand current program priorities, objectives, and performance measures, and to shape project tasks accordingly. FEMA may also provide technical assistance, training, and data to strengthen partner capabilities within eligible project categories. Funding provided under the cooperative agreement is intended to supplement, not replace, the partner’s leveraged resources, data, and other contributions that help complete the agreed-upon tasks. Once selected, the recipient must follow the requirements in the announcement, the award’s terms and conditions, and the existing Partnership Agreement, along with the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement.
For this Region 8 opportunity, FEMA anticipated making about 4 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,745,656. The CFDA number is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity was posted June 15, 2015, created June 16, 2015, and the closing date was updated to August 14, 2015 (originally August 20, 2015), with an archive date of September 15, 2015. Award ceiling and floor were listed as $0, which typically indicates that specific funding amounts are determined based on project scope and FEMA decisions rather than a fixed per-award range in the summary fields. Eligible applicant types included federally recognized tribal governments, state governments, local governments (city/township and county), special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and certain 501(c)(3) nonprofits (with additional eligibility subject to FEMA HQ approval).
The sponsoring agency is the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA. For access issues with the full announcement, the contact provided was the FEMA GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
