Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2012 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region III grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 045 003 99) is a discretionary federal funding announcement offering support through cooperative agreements to organizations that already participate in FEMA's Cooperating Technical Partners program. The basic goal is to strengthen and maintain partners capacity to carry out flood hazard identification work by funding program management and mapping-related activities that are laid out each fiscal year in the CTP program guidance. In practical terms, this money is meant to help eligible partners plan, manage, and execute technical work that contributes to improved flood hazard data and mapping, which ultimately supports the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and flood risk management decisions.

Eligibility is limited to entities that are already CTP partners and that either are an NFIP community in good standing or represent one. Applicants also need to show they can actually perform the proposed tasks and that they already have non-federally funded processes or systems in place that support flood hazard identification work. The announcement notes that proposed projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, meaning the scope can include classic mapping and GIS-focused efforts, but it can also include related program management, coordination, or technical activities that still advance flood hazard identification outcomes. Eligible applicant types include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement during performance compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as science and technology and other research and development, reflecting the technical nature of flood mapping and related hazard identification work. The opportunity indicates an expected 50 awards and identifies the associated CFDA number as 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect that federal funds are not intended to cover 100 percent of project costs and should be prepared to document the source and nature of the match as required by program rules.

Timing and funding details are provided at a high level. The opportunity was posted June 29, 2012, created August 6, 2012, and originally closed August 1, 2012, with a revised current closing date of September 18, 2012. The archive date is October 18, 2012. The estimated total funding available is $26,803,000. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which typically signals that specific award sizes were not pre-set in the summary and would instead be determined by the program based on proposed scope, available funds, and selection decisions rather than a fixed minimum or maximum.

This solicitation is identified as Region III (Agency Name: Region 3), and questions about accessing the full announcement are directed to the GMD Systems Branch via the provided email contact.
