Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2012 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program Region X grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 045 010 99; CFDA 97.045) is a discretionary funding announcement offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism. It is intended to strengthen FEMA's flood hazard mapping and related program management work by providing financial support to approved Cooperating Technical Partners in Region X. The central goal is to ensure that qualified partners have the resources to carry out program management tasks and mapping-related activities identified in the CTP program guidance for the given fiscal year. While the program is closely tied to flood hazard identification and mapping, the announcement notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, meaning proposals can range from directly technical mapping activities to supporting processes that help deliver or manage flood hazard identification outcomes.

Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already part of the CTP program (or represent entities that participate in it) and that either are, or represent, a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) community in good standing. Applicants must also demonstrate that they have the practical capability to complete the funded work and that they already maintain non-federally funded processes and/or systems that support flood hazard identification efforts. In other words, the funding is not meant to build capacity from scratch; it is aimed at partners that already have operational systems in place and can integrate federal support into ongoing flood hazard identification, mapping, or program management workflows.

The opportunity is open to a broad set of public and nonprofit entities that commonly serve as local or regional floodplain and mapping partners. Eligible applicant types include 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 nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education under the nonprofit category). This range of eligible applicants reflects the typical mix of agencies and organizations involved in floodplain management, mapping coordination, data development, technical studies, and local implementation activities connected to NFIP and FEMA mapping programs.

Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $26,803,000 and anticipates up to 50 awards. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0, which generally indicates that specific award sizes are not preset in the public synopsis and may vary by project scope, regional priorities, and the annual CTP guidance and negotiated cooperative agreement terms. The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project or program effort, consistent with the CTP program's emphasis on leveraging partner capacity and existing systems.

Key timing details show 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 agency listed is Region 10, which corresponds to FEMA Region X, and the funding activity category is classified under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting the technical and analytical nature of flood hazard identification and mapping-related work, even when particular projects are not strictly geospatial.
