Surveys of faculty salaries in graduate departments of psychology have been conducted since the mid-1960s, first by COGDOP, and after 1978 by APA in conjunction with COGDOP. Subsequent years saw the survey broaden in scope to cover more diverse issues concerning graduate education. Later, a portion was folded in with the ongoing Graduate Study effort.

• 2003 Employment Characteristics and Salaries of Medical School Psychologists (AMSP)
  This survey was a collaborative effort between the APA Research Office and the Association of Medical School Psychologists’ Executive Committee. This survey represents the second effort by APA to collect national-level employment and salary data on psychological personnel employed within medical school settings. This undertaking was prompted by the paucity of recent research on psychologists in medical school settings, along with the continuing changes and cutbacks that medical schools are experiencing in this era of managed care. Given that psychologists are a relatively small group of professionals in medical school settings, it was deemed essential to identify these psychologists, provide descriptive employment and salary characteristics in several domains, and begin to explore how they may have been impacted by recent changes in the health care system.

• 1997 Employment Characteristics and Salaries of Medical School Psychologists (AMSP)
  The 1997 Medical School Psychologists Employment Survey is a collaborative effort between the APA Research Office and the AMSP Executive Committee.
