The Fund for Psychoanalytic Research, which was established in 1976, is dedicated to the support of psychoanalytic research and scholarship, while nurturing the development of psychoanalytic investigators.
The Fund receives its support from donations of APsA members and through a regular allocation in the yearly budget of the Association. The Committee of the Fund is comprised of members of APsA who are involved in psychoanalytic research as primary investigators or as consultants and informed scholars. The Committee is augmented by the participation of consulting researchers and scholars who are not members of APsA and who may or may not be psychoanalysts.

The Fund conceives of psychoanalytic research along the broadest lines, including: scholarly and empirical investigative contributions that can advance knowledge of psychoanalytic theory, practice, and links between psychoanalysis and neighboring disciplines such as developmental psychology or neuroscience. The scope of this research includes (but is not limited to):
The Fund also invites applications from multiple methodological points of view. While the Fund for Psychoanalytic Research is especially supportive of work directly relating to what is distinctive about psychoanalysis, it is understood that research relating to psychoanalytic or psychodynamic psychotherapy may also advance the understanding of psychoanalysis. This link should be made explicit in the research proposal as part of the discussion of the specific aims and significance of the proposed study.
