Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Region 7 opportunity is a FEMA grant/cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and sustaining practical working partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities. The core purpose is to reduce flood losses and improve community resiliency by expanding local and state capacity to understand flood hazards, manage floodplain regulations, and communicate risk to the public. FEMA uses the CTP framework to encourage communities and regional partners to take a more active role in developing, updating, and maintaining flood risk data and mapping products that underpin the NFIP, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related risk information.
The program funds projects and activities that support NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities in carrying out their ongoing regulatory responsibilities under the NFIP, while also helping states, communities, and public and private stakeholders mitigate flood risk. The CTP model emphasizes local involvement and ownership of flood mapping and risk assessment work, with the idea that partners who help create the data are better positioned to maintain it, explain it, and use it in planning, permitting, and mitigation decisions. Activities eligible under the program generally fall into three broad areas: program management (planning, coordination, and oversight of mapping and risk-related efforts), technical risk analysis and mapping (data development, engineering analyses, map updates and revisions), and risk communication (sharing flood hazard information and improving public understanding of flood risk).
Eligibility is limited to qualified Cooperating Technical Partners, meaning applicants must already have a signed CTP 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 and objectives. FEMA also expects partners to have established, non-federally funded processes or systems for collecting, developing, evaluating, disseminating, and communicating flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping. Applicants must demonstrate the technical and managerial capability to perform the proposed work, meet CTP performance metrics, and provide timely, accurate performance reporting to FEMA. Where applicable, partners must be willing to use FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep project activity records updated at least every 30 days within the Studies Workflow, and more frequently when operating in the Revisions Workflow.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement (rather than a simple grant), which signals that FEMA expects to remain actively involved through coordination, guidance, and oversight during the period of performance. FEMA also notes that it may provide technical assistance, training, and/or data to help partners carry out projects within the program's categories. Any federal funding awarded is intended to supplement, not replace, partner contributions; FEMA highlights that CTPs often leverage their own staff time, data, systems, and other resources alongside federal dollars to complete agreed-upon tasks. Once funded, recipients must follow the terms and conditions in the funding announcement, the specific award conditions, and the requirements in the CTP Partnership Agreement and the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement.

FEMA anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,536,550. The listing indicates no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicant types include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and certain nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with other entities as approved by FEMA Headquarters.
