Opportunity Information: Apply for PASNOFO 22 02
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Ethiopia, issued a small discretionary grant opportunity titled "Historical Research and Interview with Ethiopian Survivors of Yekatit 12" (Funding Opportunity Number PASNOFO 22 02) to support historical research tied to a specific event during the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. The project centers on the three-day massacre in Addis Ababa in February 1937, known in Ethiopia as Yekatit 12. During that crisis, the American Ambassador to Ethiopia at the time, Cornelius Van Engert, opened the American Legation compound in the Mercato district and provided refuge to Ethiopian civilians who were fleeing the violence. According to the opportunity description, at least 588 people were sheltered inside the legation walls, including 152 children, and the sheltering effort is portrayed as having saved many from likely death.
The practical purpose of the grant is to help the U.S. Embassy use an existing historical record to reconnect with people connected to those events. The Embassy reportedly holds a list of names of the male heads of household from the families who took shelter at the American Legation during Yekatit 12. Using that list as a starting point, the funded work would focus on locating and contacting any survivors of the massacre who may still be alive, as well as identifying and reaching their children. In effect, the opportunity is aimed at documentation and outreach: finding descendants and remaining eyewitnesses, and capturing their stories through research and interviews before those living connections to the event are lost.
Administratively, the opportunity is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) categorized under "Other" for the activity category, and it is listed under CFDA 19.040. The agency is the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Ethiopia. It was created on February 22, 2022, with an original closing date of April 7, 2022. The program anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum funding amount of $8,000 (Award Ceiling: 8,000). Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided elsewhere in the full notice.
Overall, the grant is designed as a focused, time-sensitive historical recovery effort: combine archival lead information held by the Embassy with on-the-ground research to locate families connected to those sheltered during Yekatit 12, document survivor and descendant accounts, and preserve an important chapter of Ethiopian history that intersects directly with the historical actions of the American Legation in Addis Ababa.Apply for PASNOFO 22 02
