Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region IX grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 045 009 99) is a discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support flood hazard mapping and related program management work. It sits under the broader mission of improving flood hazard identification and mapping products associated with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central goal is to provide funding so that established CTP partners can carry out mapping and management activities laid out in the CTP program guidance for that fiscal year, rather than creating a one-size-fits-all project list. In practice, this means the funded work is tied to FEMA flood hazard data development and maintenance efforts, and it can include both technical mapping tasks and the administrative or coordination functions needed to manage those tasks effectively.
Awards under this opportunity are made as cooperative agreements, which typically implies a closer working relationship between the federal awarding entity and the recipient than a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the technical nature of flood hazard identification, data development, modeling, mapping, and associated analyses. The program anticipated a relatively large number of awards (about 50), and the estimated total funding available across awards was approximately $26,803,000. The listing indicates no stated award floor or ceiling (both shown as 0), which generally suggests that award sizes could vary widely depending on the proposed scope of work, the annual guidance priorities, and Region IX needs.
Eligibility is focused on entities that are already participating in (or representing communities participating in) the CTP program and connected to NFIP participation. Applicants must be a CTP partner and must either be, or represent, an NFIP community in good standing. Beyond that status requirement, applicants must demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded activities and that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support work contributing to flood hazard identification. This last point is important because it signals that the program is designed to build on existing local, state, tribal, or organizational capacity, rather than stand up entirely new infrastructure from scratch using federal funds.
The eligible applicant types span a broad range of public and qualifying nonprofit institutions, including 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 (excluding institutions of higher education). That mix reflects the reality that flood mapping responsibilities and technical capacity often sit in different places depending on the jurisdiction, with many mapping and floodplain management functions handled by state agencies, county or municipal governments, tribal governments, and in some cases universities or specialized nonprofit partners.
The kinds of projects or initiatives that can be funded are described broadly as program management and mapping-related activities, as defined each year in the program guidance. This framing leaves room for a range of deliverables tied to flood hazard identification, such as activities that support the development, update, refinement, or maintenance of flood hazard data and mapping products. The notice also makes a point that eligible projects may or may not involve geospatial issues, which suggests Region IX was open to supporting both GIS-heavy mapping workflows and other supporting activities that still materially contribute to flood hazard identification outcomes (for example, program coordination, data management processes, or other technical support functions that are not strictly GIS production work).
Cost sharing or matching is required under this opportunity. While the notice does not specify the percentage or structure of the match in the excerpt provided, the presence of a matching requirement means applicants should be prepared to document non-federal contributions consistent with the program rules, whether those contributions are cash, in-kind services, staff time, existing systems, or other allowable forms of match, subject to the governing guidance and award conditions.
From an administrative timeline perspective, the opportunity was posted on 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 was October 18, 2012. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners), which is the standard federal assistance listing used for tracking and compliance. The issuing agency is listed as Region 9, indicating the competition and administration are tied to FEMA Region IX priorities and coordination.
