Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - HQ is a FEMA grant/cooperative agreement opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security intended to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building durable partnerships across federal, state, tribal, regional, and local levels. The program is focused on reducing flood losses and improving community resilience by helping NFIP State Coordinating Agencies and participating NFIP communities continue meeting their regulatory responsibilities, while also expanding the overall capacity of states, communities, and the public and private sectors to understand and mitigate flood risk.
A central aim of the CTP Program is to grow and formalize local and state involvement in the development, maintenance, and long-term ownership of flood risk data and mapping products. This includes work tied to Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related flood hazard and risk products, along with activities that support FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program. FEMA views these partnerships as beneficial not only for the participating jurisdictions but also for the broader public, because higher-quality and better-communicated flood risk information supports stronger planning, smarter mitigation investments, and more effective floodplain management.
Funded work under this opportunity can cover a range of activities, generally falling into areas such as program management, technical flood risk analysis and mapping, and communication or outreach related to flood hazard data. In practice, that can mean supporting or improving the processes used to collect, develop, evaluate, share, and communicate flood hazard and risk assessment information, as well as contributing to the creation or updating of mapping studies and related products. FEMA may also provide technical assistance, training, and data support to help partners carry out approved work, but the funded amount is meant to supplement (not replace) the non-federal resources and data that partners can leverage.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already qualified Cooperating Technical Partners. To receive an award, an applicant must have a signed CTP 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 and supports NFIP goals and objectives. Applicants are expected to already have non-federally funded systems or processes in place that support flood data and mapping workflows, demonstrate the technical and organizational capacity to perform the proposed activities, and show they can meet FEMA performance metrics with timely and accurate reporting. Where applicable, recipients must also agree to work within FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP), including updating activity status at least every 30 days for studies workflow (and more frequently for revisions workflow).
The program emphasizes coordination with FEMA before an application is submitted. Prospective applicants are expected to engage FEMA early to understand current priorities, objectives, and performance measures, and to define specific tasks that will be included in the approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement. Once awarded, recipients must comply with the funding announcement requirements, the award terms and conditions, and the obligations in the Partnership Agreement and associated FEMA-approved work documentation. Templates for these required documents are typically provided by the issuing FEMA office (either the relevant FEMA Region or FEMA Headquarters).
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a discretionary program using the cooperative agreement instrument, reflecting FEMA's expectation of substantial involvement and coordination during project execution. It is listed under CFDA 97.045. Eligible applicant types include state, county, and municipal governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than higher education), plus other applicants as allowed under the program's additional eligibility guidance. The opportunity was created on June 1, 2017, with an original closing date of July 1, 2017. FEMA anticipated making around 11 awards, and the public listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that award amounts may vary or be determined through FEMA priorities and selections rather than a single fixed maximum stated in the synopsis.Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 00 01
