Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 MT 045 10 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program for FEMA Region 10 is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 97.045, with the stated purpose of strengthening and improving the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central idea is to build and deepen working partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities so they can reduce flood losses and improve community resilience. Rather than treating flood mapping and flood risk communication as purely federal tasks, the CTP Program is designed to expand local involvement and long-term ownership of flood risk data and products that communities rely on for planning, insurance, and mitigation.
The opportunity supports work that helps NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and NFIP-participating communities keep up with their ongoing regulatory responsibilities under the NFIP (referencing NFIP community definitions in 44 CFR Part 59.1). At the same time, it aims to improve the capacity of states, communities, and even public and private sector partners to better understand and reduce flood risk. A major emphasis is improving the development, maintenance, and communication of flood hazard and risk information, including core mapping products such as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), along with related flood risk datasets and tools. These activities are meant to advance FEMA's broader Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program goals, which focus on modernizing risk information and helping communities take action based on that information.
Projects funded through the CTP Program can cover a range of activities, generally falling into program management, technical risk analysis and mapping, and outreach or communication of flood hazard and risk information. FEMA notes that partnerships built through the CTP structure are intended to benefit communities and the public by making flood risk information more accurate, more locally informed, and more usable for mitigation decisions. Funding provided through the award is intended to supplement, not replace, the partner's own leveraged resources, data, and existing capabilities that they bring to the table.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are already qualified CTP partners. In practical terms, applicants must have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. Applicants also must either be (or represent) an NFIP community in good standing, or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission aligns with NFIP goals and objectives. FEMA also 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. Beyond having the technical and managerial capability to perform the funded work, partners must be able to meet CTP Program performance metrics and provide timely, accurate performance reporting to FEMA. For mapping-related work, FEMA may require the partner to use FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and to keep activity status updated at least every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more often in the Revisions Workflow).
A key feature of this opportunity is that prospective applicants are expected to coordinate with FEMA before submitting an application. FEMA encourages partners to discuss priorities, objectives, and measures in advance and to identify specific tasks that align with FEMA program goals. FEMA may also provide non-financial support such as technical assistance, training, and data to strengthen project execution. Once an award is made, the recipient must comply with the funding announcement requirements, the award's terms and conditions, and the existing Partnership Agreement. The approved scope is formalized through a FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement, using templates provided by the FEMA Region or FEMA Headquarters.
Administrative details for this specific posting include the funding opportunity number DHS 16 MT 045 10 01, an original closing date of June 10, 2016, and an expected 14 awards. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that amounts are not specified in the notice and may vary by project scope, available funds, or regional priorities rather than being capped at a single published maximum. Eligible applicant types listed include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding higher education institutions); and other eligible entities, but all still must meet the CTP-specific requirement of being a qualified partner with a signed FEMA Partnership Agreement.Apply for DHS 16 MT 045 10 01
