Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 10 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 10 is a FEMA funding opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and maintaining practical working partnerships across federal, state, tribal, regional, and local levels. The main aim is to reduce flood losses and improve community resilience by helping partners generate, update, and communicate high-quality flood risk information. In plain terms, the program is meant to keep flood hazard data and mapping efforts current and credible, while also supporting the day-to-day regulatory responsibilities that NFIP-participating communities and state coordinating agencies must carry out.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement, which usually means FEMA expects to stay actively involved during the period of performance rather than simply issuing a check and stepping back. The work supported can include program management activities, technical flood risk analysis and mapping tasks, and efforts that help communities understand and communicate flood hazards and related risk information. A major focus is increasing local involvement and ownership of flood risk data products, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), along with other tools and datasets that support FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program goals. FEMA may also provide technical assistance, training, and/or data to help partners carry out projects within the eligible categories.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already qualified CTP partners. To receive an award, an applicant must have a signed CTP 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. Beyond basic eligibility, FEMA expects applicants to already have non-federally funded processes or systems in place for collecting, developing, evaluating, sharing, and communicating flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping. Applicants must demonstrate they have the capability to perform the proposed work, meet CTP performance metrics, and provide timely, accurate performance reporting back to FEMA.
A key operational requirement mentioned in the announcement is the Mapping Information Platform (MIP). Where applicable, awardees must agree to perform work in the MIP and keep project activity information current by updating the Studies Workflow at least every 30 days (and more often for Revisions Workflow work). The announcement also emphasizes that prospective applicants should coordinate with FEMA before applying so they understand FEMA priorities, objectives, and measurement expectations, and so that specific tasks can be clearly identified and scoped in advance. Any FEMA funding provided is intended to supplement, not replace, the resources and data the partner can leverage for the agreed work.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity with CFDA number 97.045 and is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development. 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; and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding IHEs), along with other entities as clarified in the full eligibility language. The opportunity was created June 1, 2017, with an original closing date of July 1, 2017. FEMA anticipated making around 12 awards. The public listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in that summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full notice or through FEMA program contacts.
Awardees must comply with the requirements in the funding announcement, the award terms and conditions, and the signed Partnership Agreement, including the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement. The notice indicates these templates are available from the granting organization, either the relevant FEMA Region (Region 10 for this opportunity) or FEMA Headquarters. Overall, the program is structured to expand and professionalize the partner network that produces and maintains flood mapping and risk products, while ensuring communities and states have stronger tools and support to manage floodplain risk and meet NFIP responsibilities.Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 10 01
