Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 09 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 9 is a FEMA grant opportunity (Department of Homeland Security, FEMA) designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and sustaining practical partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities. The main purpose is to reduce flood-related losses and improve community resilience by helping partners develop, maintain, and communicate reliable flood risk information. Through these partnerships, FEMA aims to increase local involvement and long-term ownership of flood hazard data and the products built from that data, especially Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and other flood risk products that support the Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program.
Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 97.045 and is categorized under science and technology and other research and development-related activities. Rather than being a general open grant for any flood project, the CTP Program is geared toward organizations that can directly contribute to FEMA flood mapping and risk communication goals. Projects can cover program management support, technical risk analysis and flood mapping work, and activities that help communities and stakeholders understand and act on flood hazard and risk information. FEMA also notes that it may provide non-financial support like technical assistance, training, and/or data to help partners carry out work effectively.
Eligibility is limited to qualified CTP partners. To receive an award, an applicant must already be a Cooperating Technical Partner, meaning it has a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. The applicant must also either be (or represent) an NFIP-participating community in good standing, or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission aligns with NFIP goals. Beyond formal status, FEMA expects applicants to already have non-federally funded processes or systems in place for collecting, developing, evaluating, disseminating, and communicating flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping. Applicants must show they have the capability to perform the proposed work, meet CTP performance metrics, and submit timely and accurate performance reports to FEMA.
A specific operational expectation included in the notice is the use of FEMAs Mapping Information Platform (MIP) when applicable. Partners may be required to do work within the MIP and keep project activities updated at least every 30 days within the Studies Workflow, and even more frequently for the Revisions Workflow. Another key point is that FEMA expects coordination before application submission: prospective applicants are encouraged to work with FEMA in advance to understand regional and program priorities, objectives, and measures, and to identify the specific tasks that will be funded. FEMA frames its funding as additive to partner contributions, emphasizing that awarded federal funds complement leveraged resources and data that the CTP brings to the table.
The opportunity is open to a broad range of government and nonprofit entities, but only if they meet the CTP-specific requirements. The eligible applicant categories listed include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; and qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding universities). The posting lists an expected seven awards, with an award ceiling shown as 0 (which typically indicates the ceiling is not specified in the summary field and may depend on FEMA priorities, available funds, or negotiated scopes of work). The opportunity was posted June 1, 2017, with an original application deadline of July 1, 2017, and it applies to FEMA Region 9.
If selected, recipients must follow the requirements in the funding announcement, the award terms and conditions, and their existing Partnership Agreement, along with the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement. In practical terms, this means the work is closely coordinated with FEMA, measured against program performance expectations, and structured to produce usable flood risk data and communication outcomes that support NFIP administration and broader flood risk mitigation across participating communities.Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 09 01
