Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) Region 8 opportunity is a FEMA cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and maintaining practical working partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities. The central goal is to reduce flood losses and improve community resilience by expanding local capacity to understand flood hazards, manage floodplain regulations, and keep flood risk information current and usable. In practice, FEMA uses the CTP Program to help qualified partners take a more direct role in producing, updating, and communicating flood risk data and related products, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other mapping or risk assessment outputs that support NFIP implementation.
This funding supports projects and activities that help NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities continue their ongoing regulatory responsibilities while also improving broader flood risk mitigation efforts. The program emphasizes increasing local involvement and ownership over flood risk datasets and mapping products, which can improve both accuracy and long-term maintenance. Activities funded under the program can include program management tasks, technical flood risk analysis and mapping work, and efforts focused on communicating flood hazard and risk information to the public and stakeholders. FEMA may also provide non-monetary support such as technical assistance, training, and data to strengthen partner performance within these project categories. Importantly, FEMA frames CTP funding as additive: awards are intended to complement and leverage the partner's existing resources, data, and systems rather than replace them.
Eligibility is restricted to established, qualified CTP partners. To receive an award, an applicant must already be a Cooperating Technical Partner with a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. The recipient must also either be or represent an NFIP community in good standing, or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission aligns with NFIP goals. FEMA expects applicants to already have non-federally funded processes or systems in place to support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination, and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping. Applicants must demonstrate the capability to carry out the proposed work, meet CTP performance metrics, and provide timely, accurate performance reporting to FEMA. Where applicable, partners must agree to work within FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep activity information current, including updating the Studies Workflow every 30 days and making more frequent updates in the Revisions Workflow.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 97.045 (Cooperating Technical Partners). The Funding Opportunity Number is DHS-14-MT-045-008-01 and it was posted on July 1, 2014, with an application deadline of August 18, 2014 (and an archive date of September 18, 2014). FEMA anticipated making around 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,764,358. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, and both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which typically signals that award amounts are determined by FEMA based on approved scopes of work rather than a fixed per-award range published in the synopsis. Eligible applicant types referenced include state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and certain qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits, with final eligibility subject to FEMA Headquarters approval and the requirement that the applicant be an approved CTP partner.
Operationally, FEMA encourages potential applicants to coordinate with FEMA before submitting an application to align proposed tasks with FEMA priorities, objectives, and performance measures. Awardees must follow the requirements in the announcement, the specific terms and conditions of the award, and the existing Partnership Agreement, including the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement. Questions or access issues were directed to FEMA's GMD Systems Branch via email (GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov), and additional program information was referenced through FEMA's Cooperating Technical Partners program page.
