Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 MT 045 04 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 4 is a FEMA grant/cooperative agreement opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security aimed at strengthening the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core idea is to build and maintain strong working partnerships across federal, state, tribal, regional, and local levels so communities can better understand flood hazards, reduce flood losses, and improve overall resilience. Through this program, FEMA supports qualified partners in carrying out projects that help NFIP state coordinating agencies and NFIP-participating communities keep up with their regulatory responsibilities while also improving the broader ability of governments and stakeholders to mitigate flood risk.
A major emphasis of the CTP Program is improving flood risk data and the products that depend on it, especially Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related mapping and risk assessment tools. FEMA ties this work to the goals of the Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program, which focuses on producing better risk information and ensuring that information is used effectively. The program encourages more local involvement and local ownership of flood hazard data development and upkeep, on the assumption that communities and states are often best positioned to gather information, understand local conditions, and keep datasets current when they are active partners rather than passive recipients.
The types of supported work described are broad but generally fall into three buckets: program management activities, technical flood risk analysis and mapping activities, and activities that improve communication of flood hazard and risk information to decision-makers and the public. FEMA may also provide non-financial support such as technical assistance, training, or data to help partners carry out the project categories. Any FEMA funding awarded is meant to complement, not replace, resources the partner already brings to the table, including leveraged data, staff capacity, and established systems.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already qualified Cooperating Technical Partners, meaning they must have a signed CTP Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. Beyond having that formal partnership in place, recipients 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. Applicants also need to demonstrate that they have existing, non-federally funded processes and/or systems to support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination, and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping. In practical terms, FEMA is looking for entities that already have operational capability and infrastructure, not groups starting from scratch.
Applicants are expected to show they can perform the funded activities and meet CTP Program performance metrics, including providing timely and accurate reports to FEMA that document performance and achievements. Where applicable, partners must also agree to use FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep project activities updated at least every 30 days within the Studies Workflow, and more frequently within the Revisions Workflow. This reflects FEMA's focus on ongoing project tracking, transparency, and consistent progress reporting for mapping and data maintenance work.
The program is structured as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument (FundingOpportunityNumber: DHS 16 MT 045 04 01; CFDA: 97.045), categorized under science and technology and other research and development. Eligible applicant types listed include state, county, and local governments; special districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding higher education institutions), along with other entities as allowed by FEMA. The original closing date for this Region 4 opportunity was June 10, 2016, and FEMA anticipated making around 10 awards. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum dollar cap is not stated in the summary and that actual award amounts depend on FEMA priorities, available funds, and the approved scope of work.
A key operational expectation is coordination with FEMA before submitting an application. Prospective applicants are supposed to discuss FEMA priorities, objectives, and measures in advance and jointly identify the specific tasks they will undertake. Once an award is made, the partner must follow the requirements in the funding announcement, the award terms and conditions, and the existing Partnership Agreement, along with the FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement. In other words, success in this program depends not only on technical capability, but also on strong project management, compliance discipline, and consistent collaboration with FEMA to advance NFIP and Risk MAP outcomes in Region 4.Apply for DHS 16 MT 045 04 01
