Established in 1947, the Charles A. King Trust was created to support
the "investigation of diseases of human beings, and the alleviation
of human suffering through the improved treatment of human diseases."
In keeping with these principles, the King Trust today supports
clinical or health services research scientists in the early to mid
stages of their research careers and basic scientists in the later
stages of their postdoctoral research training. Bank of America,
Edward Dane and Lucy West serve as Co-Trustees of the Charles A. King
Trust.<br>
<br>
The Charles A. King Trust Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program is
designed to support postdoctoral scientists in non-profit academic,
medical or research institutions in Massachusetts. Each applicant must
be working under the supervision of an established scientist who is
the designated Mentor. The primary goal of the Program is to prepare
postdoctoral fellows for academic careers as successful independent
investigators.<br>
<br>
Approximately 14 two-year fellowships ranging from $43,000 to $50,000
per year, inclusive of a $2,000 expense allowance, will be
awarded.<br>
