FY 2012 Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2012 Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Program (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 045 001 99; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. Its main goal is to provide funding support so that existing CTP partners can carry out program management and flood mapping related work that is spelled out in FEMA's CTP program guidance for that specific fiscal year. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen and expand the capacity of partner organizations to contribute to flood hazard identification efforts that ultimately support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the production or improvement of flood hazard data and related mapping products.

This opportunity is geared toward entities that are already part of the CTP program and that are connected to NFIP-participating communities that are in good standing. Applicants must either be an NFIP community themselves or be able to represent one, and they must be able to demonstrate they have the technical and administrative capability to perform the funded activities. A notable requirement is that recipients must already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that can support work contributing to flood hazard identification. This signals that the federal funding is meant to augment and accelerate established capabilities rather than create a brand-new program from scratch. While the program often involves mapping and flood risk data, the announcement explicitly notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, leaving room for other types of program support activities that still advance flood hazard identification and related program goals.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies more substantial federal involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, such as closer coordination, shared responsibilities, or more active programmatic oversight during performance. The program also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should expect to contribute some portion of project costs through cash, in-kind support, or other allowable match sources, consistent with the program rules and the annual guidance.

In terms of scale and competitiveness, the announcement anticipated about 50 awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding amount of $26,803,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which generally indicates that specific award sizes were not pre-set in the synopsis and could vary based on project scope, eligibility, and available funding, with final amounts determined during the review and award process.

Eligible applicants span a range of public and nonprofit organizations that commonly participate in floodplain management and mapping partnerships. These include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education). Even though these categories are broad, the key gating factor remains CTP partner status and the NFIP community standing and representation requirement described in the program purpose.
