Anthropomorphic Research Project

The Anthropomorphic Research Project is a survey-based research group of social psychologists, anthropologists, and sociologists from multiple institutions with an interest in furry fandom, therianthropy and related topics.

The research team's surveys are distributed online, and at select furry conventions (Anthrocon and Furry Fiesta as of March 2012). Results are presented via the same mediums.

In June 2013, a team member announced that the ARP had received a $75,000 grant from the Canadian government.
