Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region VI grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 045 006 99, CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary funding announcement issued by FEMA Region 6 to support flood hazard mapping and related program management work through cooperative agreements. The core idea behind the CTP Program is to build and maintain strong partnerships with qualified local, state, tribal, and other eligible entities so they can help carry out flood hazard identification activities that support the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Rather than being a one-off project grant, the program is structured to fund a range of mapping and program management activities that are spelled out in FEMA's CTP program guidance for the given fiscal year.
Funding is provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means FEMA expects substantial involvement, coordination, or oversight during the period of performance compared with a more hands-off formula grant. The announced funding activity category is listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that work may involve technical analysis, modeling, data development, and other specialized tasks used to produce or improve flood hazard information. Importantly, the notice clarifies that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, so while mapping is central to the program, the funded work is not limited strictly to GIS deliverables and can include broader program management or supporting technical functions connected to flood hazard identification.
To be eligible as a recipient, an applicant must already be a CTP partner and must either be, or represent, an NFIP community in good standing. Applicants also need to demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded activities and, crucially, they must have existing non-federally funded processes and/or systems already in place that support work contributing to flood hazard identification. That eligibility language signals FEMA is looking for partners with established operational capacity, not groups starting from scratch. The eligible applicant types listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that nonprofit category).
The opportunity anticipates a relatively large portfolio of awards, with an expected 50 awards and an estimated total funding amount of $26,803,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates the agency did not publish specific per-award minimums or maximums in the summary fields and that actual award sizes would be determined by FEMA based on the scope, eligibility, and available funds. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning awardees should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources as required by the program and described in the full announcement and guidance.
Key dates associated with the notice include a posted date of June 29, 2012, and 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.
