Summary: Supports postdoctoral fellows and mentored clinician scientists at Brown University in biomedical research on human disease causes and treatment, enabling transition to research independence.
The Charles A. King Trust Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program, administered through Brown University’s Legorreta Cancer Center, provides substantial support for postdoctoral researchers and mentored clinician scientists in the mid to late stages of their training. The fellowship is designed to advance biomedical research with a focus on understanding the causes of human disease and developing improved treatments. It spans a broad range of disciplines, including basic/preclinical science, clinical research, health services, population health, and implementation research. The central aim is to help promising scientists become independent investigators dedicated to alleviating human suffering through scientific discovery.
