Opportunity Summary:
FY 2014 Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Region 1 is a FEMA grant and cooperative agreement opportunity designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by expanding and formalizing partnerships with state, tribal, regional, and local organizations that help manage and communicate flood risk. The central idea is to reduce flood losses and improve community resilience by making sure the best available flood hazard data, analyses, and mapping products are developed, maintained, and actually used by communities that participate in the NFIP. FEMA uses the CTP program to encourage more local involvement and ownership over flood risk data, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related risk products, so that mapping and mitigation efforts are not only federally driven but also supported by capable partners with on-the-ground knowledge and established technical capacity.
Under this opportunity, FEMA may provide federal assistance to an approved CTP partner to carry out projects that support the ongoing regulatory responsibilities of NFIP state coordinating agencies and NFIP-participating communities (as defined in 44 CFR Part 59.1). The work can include program management activities, technical flood risk analysis, mapping and map maintenance, and improved communication of flood hazard and risk information to both technical users and the general public. The intent is not simply to generate maps, but to build stronger systems for collecting, developing, evaluating, disseminating, and explaining flood risk information in ways that support mitigation decisions and NFIP compliance. FEMA also notes that it may offer technical assistance, training, or data to help partners deliver results within the project categories, and that federal funds are meant to complement, not replace, the partner resources and data that a CTP brings to the table.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already qualified CTPs, meaning they must have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA headquarters or a FEMA regional office. In addition, recipients must either be (or represent) an NFIP community in good standing, or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission supports NFIP goals. Applicants are expected to already have non-federally funded processes or systems in place that support flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping, and they must be able to perform the proposed activities and meet FEMA performance metrics. A key operational requirement is reporting and performance documentation: partners must show they can provide timely, accurate reports to FEMA about progress and achievements. When applicable, recipients must also agree to conduct work in FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep activity information current, including updates at least every 30 days for Studies Workflow activities (and more frequently for Revisions Workflow work).
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity offered by the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, using the cooperative agreement instrument. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). It does not require cost sharing or matching, although FEMA emphasizes that partners typically leverage their own resources and data alongside federal support. For FY 2014 Region 1, FEMA anticipated making about 6 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $264,000. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are listed as $0), which generally signals that award sizes may vary depending on project scope and FEMA priorities rather than being constrained by a preset per-award minimum or maximum in the summary posting.
Eligible applicant types named in the announcement include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), along with other entities as clarified by FEMA in the full eligibility language. Final eligibility is effectively "as approved by FEMA HQ," reinforcing that participation hinges on being an established, qualified CTP with an executed partnership agreement and the demonstrated capacity to deliver NFIP-aligned technical and program outcomes.
Key dates for this FY 2014 posting were a posted date of July 1, 2014, with an application closing date of August 18, 2014, and an archive date of September 18, 2014. The funding opportunity number is DHS-14-MT-045-001-01, and the title is FY 2014 Cooperating Technical Partner - Region 1. For more details, FEMA pointed applicants to the CTP program page and provided a contact for access issues through the GMD Systems Branch at FEMA (GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov).
