The Charles A. King Trust Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
Bank of America, Co-Trustee
Program Officer: Linda Lam 617-279-2240 ext. 710

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.

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.

Approximately 14 two-year fellowships ranging from $43,000 to $50,000 
per year, inclusive of a $2,000 expense allowance, will be awarded.

By July 1st of each funding cycle, Clinical/Health Services Research: 
Applicants with clinical responsibilities must have completed 
residency and be enrolled in a postdoctoral fellowship program. 
Applicants without clinical responsibilities must have completed at 
least three years of full-time postdoctoral research experience and 
no more than five years of postdoctoral experience.

By July 1st, Basic Science: Applicants holding the Ph.D., M.D., 
D.M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent degrees must have completed at least 
three years of full-time postdoctoral research experience and no more 
than five years of postdoctoral experience.
The next application deadline will be on December 15, 2008 for awards 
beginning on July 1, 2009.
