Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 06 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 6 is a FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and sustaining practical working partnerships among federal, state, tribal, regional, and local entities. The core purpose is to reduce flood losses and improve community resilience by improving how flood hazard data is developed, maintained, shared, and used. Through this program, FEMA supports qualified partners that can help NFIP state coordinating agencies and NFIP-participating communities carry out their ongoing floodplain management and regulatory responsibilities, while also expanding broader flood risk mitigation capacity across the public and private sectors.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 17 MT 045 06 01; CFDA 97.045) and sits within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The cooperative agreement structure signals that FEMA expects substantial involvement during performance, which commonly includes coordination on technical standards, deliverables, schedules, and integration with FEMA systems and workflows. The program is closely tied to FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) goals, with emphasis on increasing local and state involvement and ownership over the flood risk data and products that communities rely on, especially Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and related flood hazard and risk assessment products.
Work supported under the CTP Program can cover a broad range of activities as long as they advance NFIP and Risk MAP objectives. FEMA highlights three major areas: (1) program management activities that help organize, track, and deliver flood risk projects; (2) technical risk analysis and mapping work, which may include developing or refining flood hazard data and mapping products; and (3) communication activities that improve how flood risk and hazard information is conveyed to stakeholders, communities, and decision-makers. FEMA also notes that it may provide non-financial support such as technical assistance, training, and data to help partners complete work within these categories. Importantly, FEMA funding is intended to supplement, not replace, resources that partners can leverage, and FEMA anticipates that CTPs will bring existing capabilities, systems, and non-federal investments to the table.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already qualified CTPs, meaning they must have a signed Partnership Agreement with FEMA Headquarters or a FEMA Regional Office. Eligible applicant types listed include state governments; county, city, township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than higher education institutions), along with other entities as clarified in FEMA's eligibility guidance. Beyond organizational type, the program sets practical qualification requirements: the applicant must be or represent an NFIP community in good standing, or be a FEMA-approved nonprofit whose primary mission aligns with NFIP goals; it must already operate non-federally funded processes or systems supporting the collection, development, evaluation, dissemination, and communication of flood hazard and risk data; it must have the demonstrated capability to perform the proposed work; and it must be able to meet CTP performance metrics and provide timely, accurate performance reporting to FEMA.
The announcement also sets operational expectations tied to FEMA's mapping workflow infrastructure. When applicable, CTPs must agree to perform work in FEMA's Mapping Information Platform (MIP) and keep project activities current within the platform. Specifically, partners are expected to update activities at least every 30 days in the Studies Workflow, and even more frequently in the Revisions Workflow. FEMA also makes clear that successful applicants are expected to coordinate with FEMA before submitting an application to align on FEMA priorities, objectives, measures, and the specific tasks to be undertaken. This pre-application coordination is framed as essential to ensuring proposed work fits FEMA's regional program needs and measurable outcomes.
Award administration is governed not only by the funding announcement and the award's terms and conditions, but also by the existing CTP Partnership Agreement and the FEMA-approved scope documentation associated with the project, such as a Statement of Work or a Mapping Activity Statement. FEMA indicates that the relevant templates and forms are available through the granting organization, either the FEMA Region or FEMA Headquarters, reinforcing that award implementation is meant to follow established CTP program structures and technical standards.
Key administrative details for this Region 6 opportunity include an initial posting (creation) date of June 1, 2017, and an original closing date of July 1, 2017. FEMA anticipated approximately 13 awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that a single maximum award amount is not specified in the public synopsis and may depend on available funding, project type, negotiated scope, or FEMA regional priorities rather than a fixed cap disclosed in the notice.Apply for DHS 17 MT 045 06 01
