Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program for FEMA Region 9 is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and sustaining practical working partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities. The core purpose is to reduce flood losses and improve community resilience by helping partners develop, maintain, and communicate reliable flood hazard and flood risk information, while also supporting the ongoing regulatory responsibilities that NFIP state coordinating agencies and participating NFIP communities must carry out under federal rules (including the NFIP community definition in 44 CFR 59.1). In plain terms, the program is meant to keep flood risk data current and usable, encourage local ownership of that data, and make sure communities have the tools and capacity to manage floodplain risk over time.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements (rather than a simple pass-through grant), which typically signals FEMA expects substantial coordination during the period of performance. The activities supported under the CTP umbrella generally fall into three broad areas: program management support, technical risk analysis and flood mapping work, and communication or outreach that helps the public and decision-makers understand flood hazards and risk. A major emphasis is on flood risk data and products such as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), along with related mapping and risk products that communities rely on for planning, mitigation decisions, and NFIP administration. FEMA may also provide non-monetary support like technical assistance, training, and/or data to strengthen a partner's ability to deliver the work.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already qualified Cooperating Technical Partners, meaning the applicant must have a signed CTP Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. Beyond having that agreement in place, 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. Applicants also need to show they already have non-federally funded processes or systems for collecting, developing, evaluating, disseminating, and communicating flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping, and they must demonstrate the capability to perform the proposed work. FEMA expects recipients to meet CTP program performance metrics and provide timely, accurate performance reporting. For mapping-related workflows, recipients may need to perform work in FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep activities updated at least every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently in the Revisions Workflow), reinforcing that this program values regular progress tracking and transparent coordination.
The opportunity anticipates about 15 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $3,675,000 under CFDA 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). The published award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which generally indicates that individual award sizes are not preset in the notice and may vary depending on project scope, FEMA priorities, and available funds. Importantly, the notice specifies there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, although it also makes clear that FEMA funding is intended to complement, not replace, the leveraged resources, data, and existing capabilities that partners bring to the table.
Eligible applicant types include state governments, local governments (city/township and county), special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), plus other entities as clarified by FEMA (with eligibility ultimately noted as "as approved by FEMA HQ"). Applicants are strongly encouraged to coordinate with FEMA before applying to understand current FEMA priorities, objectives, and measures and to align proposed tasks accordingly. If selected, recipients must comply with the announcement requirements, the award's terms and conditions, and the CTP Partnership Agreement, including the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement, which collectively define what will be delivered and how performance will be documented.
For timing, the opportunity was posted June 15, 2015 (created June 16, 2015). The original closing date was August 20, 2015, later updated to August 14, 2015, and the opportunity was archived September 15, 2015. The funding opportunity number is DHS 15 MT 045 009 01, and the program is categorized under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" in the notice, reflecting the technical and data-driven nature of flood risk analysis and mapping work. For assistance accessing the full announcement, FEMA listed the contact as the GMD Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, and additional program information was referenced through FEMA's Cooperating Technical Partners program webpage.
