Details:
Established in 1936, the Charles A. King Trust was created to “support and promote the investigation of human disease and the alleviation of human suffering through improved treatment.”
The program supports research across biomedical fields that focuses on the causes of human disease with the mission of improving treatment. Applicants may apply under one of the two separate, but linked programs:
- Basic and Preclinical Science Award Program:
- Proposals in the basic sciences seek to increase the understanding of the underlying biological processes relevant to human health and disease. Preclinical sciences seek to move findings from basic research towards clinical application.
- Clinical and Implementation Research Award Program:
- Clinical or implementation research funded by this program support human studies including physiological research, behavioral science and health education research, translational research (the application of bench research to patient care), epidemiological research, health services and policy research, outcomes research, and research about healthcare delivery and population health, regardless of specialty or discipline.
Funding Information
Two-year grants ranging from $194,100 to $215,000 total, inclusive of stipend, fringe, and a $25,000 Annual flexible expense allowance will be awarded October 1, 2025.
