Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support Program (MMMS) is a FEMA grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to help partner organizations support FEMA's Flood Map Modernization effort in ways that do not directly produce a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). In other words, the program is designed to fund the behind-the-scenes management and administrative work that makes flood map modernization possible, rather than paying for the actual creation of new or revised flood insurance maps. The focus is on strengthening a partner's ability to manage, coordinate, oversee, and support modernization activities that are laid out in FEMA's MMMS program guidance for the applicable fiscal year.
A central requirement of participation is the development of a business plan. Applicants are expected to describe, in that plan (or in an update to an existing plan), the specific MMMS activities they intend to carry out, along with a clear explanation of their approach and the capabilities they bring to the program. Funding is tied to implementing the activities described in the plan, and the plan serves as the main documentation FEMA uses to understand what the partner will do with the award and how it will support the overall Flood Map Modernization mission.
Eligible work under MMMS can include a range of management support functions such as program administration, coordination among jurisdictions, oversight of projects, stakeholder engagement, quality management processes, reporting, and other activities identified in the annual program guidance. The announcement also notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues, meaning an applicant is not limited to purely mapping or GIS work as long as the effort supports the modernization program and fits within the MMMS guidance.
This particular announcement (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 070 005) is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates FEMA expects to have substantial involvement in the execution or oversight of the funded activities compared with a more hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as management support for the Map Modernization Program, and it is associated with CFDA 97.070 (Map Modernization Management Support). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement specified.
For eligibility, the opportunity includes state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other entities as defined in the additional eligibility clarification, with specific mention of multi-jurisdictional entities. The issuing office is FEMA Region 5. Key dates included a posted date of February 25, 2008, an original closing date of March 28, 2008, and a revised closing date of July 31, 2008, with archiving on August 30, 2008. Additional program information was referenced through a FEMA link, and a contact was provided for access issues with the full announcement (Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief, bianca.costa@dhs.gov).
