CHICAGO (AP) -- The University of Illinois at Chicago has received a nearly $900,000 federal grant to help study the support rape victims receive and the outcomes of their recovery.

The money for the three-year grand comes from the National Institutes of Health. UIC social psychologist Sarah Ullman will lead the study.

Researches will collect survey and interview data from Chicago-area women in hopes of developing social support interventions that better help victims and their friends and families.
