Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 MT 045 07 01
Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 7 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security intended to strengthen and improve the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by expanding and formalizing partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities. The core idea is to reduce flood losses and improve community resilience by ensuring that flood hazard data, flood risk assessments, and mapping products are accurate, current, and actively used by communities and decision-makers. Through these partnerships, FEMA aims to increase local involvement in the creation and long-term maintenance of flood risk information, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related risk products that support the broader Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 16 MT 045 07 01; CFDA 97.045) is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, reflecting that FEMA expects substantial collaboration with recipients during project planning and execution. The activities funded are meant to reinforce the ability of NFIP state coordinating agencies and NFIP-participating communities to keep up with their ongoing NFIP regulatory responsibilities, while also building broader capacity to mitigate flood risk across the public and private sectors. In practical terms, projects can cover program management functions, technical risk analysis and mapping work, and the communication of flood hazard and risk information so that it is understandable and actionable for community officials, residents, and other stakeholders.
Eligibility is limited to qualified Cooperating Technical Partners, meaning applicants must already be part of the CTP Program and have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. Applicants must also either be (or represent) an NFIP community in good standing or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission supports NFIP goals. Beyond organizational status, FEMA emphasizes capacity and readiness: recipients are expected to have existing, non-federally funded processes or systems that support the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination, and communication of flood hazard and risk assessment data and mapping. They must demonstrate the capability to perform the proposed work, meet CTP performance metrics, and provide timely, accurate performance reporting to FEMA. Where applicable, recipients must also be willing to use FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP), including updating project activities at least every 30 days in the Studies Workflow (and more frequently for Revisions Workflow items).
The program is structured to encourage advance coordination with FEMA before submitting an application. Prospective applicants are expected to discuss FEMA priorities, objectives, and performance measures ahead of time and work with FEMA to identify specific tasks that will be funded. FEMA may also provide non-financial support such as technical assistance, training, and data to help CTPs carry out work within the eligible project categories. Importantly, FEMA frames its funding as additive: federal dollars provided through the cooperative agreement are intended to supplement, not replace, the leveraged resources, datasets, and capabilities that CTPs bring to the partnership.
Award administration is tied closely to FEMA-approved planning documents. If selected, the CTP must follow the requirements in the official announcement, the award terms and conditions, and the underlying Partnership Agreement, along with an associated FEMA-approved Statement of Work or Mapping Activity Statement. These documents define what will be delivered, how progress will be measured, and how coordination and reporting will occur throughout the period of performance. For this FY 2016 Region 7 opportunity, FEMA anticipated making about four awards, with an application closing date of June 10, 2016. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically signals that funding levels are determined through project scoping and negotiation rather than a single fixed maximum published in the notice.Apply for DHS 16 MT 045 07 01
