Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2012 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region II grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 045 002 99; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support flood hazard identification work tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central aim is to provide funding so approved CTP partners can carry out program management and mapping-related activities that are laid out each year in FEMA's CTP program guidance. While mapping and flood risk data development are core themes, the announcement also makes clear that eligible projects or initiatives might not always be strictly geospatial, as long as they contribute to flood hazard identification and related program objectives.

Funding is intended for organizations that are already part of the CTP program and that either are an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. In practice, that means applicants must be able to demonstrate an active and compliant relationship with NFIP participation requirements, along with the technical and administrative capability to execute the funded scope of work. A notable eligibility condition is that the recipient must have existing, non-federally funded processes and/or systems already in place that can support and sustain the work, especially systems that contribute to flood hazard identification. This requirement signals that the program is designed to strengthen and leverage established local, tribal, territorial, state, or partner capacity rather than build entirely new infrastructure from scratch.

The eligible applicant pool includes state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. It also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education under the nonprofit category). Awards are expected to be made broadly, with an anticipated 50 awards under this announcement. The total estimated funding available is $26,803,000, and the notice lists the award ceiling and award floor as $0, which typically indicates that award sizes may vary and are determined by program priorities, project scopes, and available funding rather than a fixed minimum or maximum published in the synopsis.

Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant. That often means closer coordination with the federal agency on project direction, deliverables, technical standards, reporting, and alignment with FEMA mapping and flood risk policies. The program also has a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should be prepared to document the source and allowability of non-federal contributions (cash or in-kind) that meet the program rules.

Key dates in the posting show it was originally posted June 29, 2012, with an original closing date of August 1, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of September 18, 2012. The archive date is listed as October 18, 2012, indicating the opportunity is historical and was tied to FY 2012 funding cycles. The awarding/administration agency is listed as Region 2, and assistance for accessing the full announcement was routed through the GMD Systems Branch via the provided email contact.
