The department gave $749,951 for research on the quality of family life and community integration in families that have children with developmental or emotional behavioral disabilities.
The project is trying to determine how well services that these families receive help them. It will also focus on improving policies and services that do not help families.
The department also gave $299,313 to the University to fund a program titled "Research Projects for Stabilizing and Improving Lives of Persons with Disabilities."
The program will help disabled youth as they transition into adulthood.
The project will focus on people with mild intellectual disabilities, emotional disorders, severe intellectual impairments and autism.

Iraqi kills Fort Riley soldier; shooting under investigation
NEWARK, N.J. — A soldier from New Jersey serving in Iraq with a unit from Fort Riley was shot and killed last week, the Defense Department reported.
Spc. Simeon Hunte, 23, of Essex County, N.J., was on patrol in Al Khadra last Wednesday when an Iraqi approached and shot him, the military said. The shooting is under investigation.
Hunte was the eighth Fort Riley soldier killed in the war, and a memorial service for him is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at the Morris Hill Chapel on the post.
Bikers turn around troubled lives with church attendance
GRANTVILLE — Time was when some residents in this small town northeast of Topeka cast a suspicious eye at the 50 or so Harley riders who met for Sunday morning church services.
Christian Calvary Missionary Church and Motorcycle Outreach Ministries, which started in 2000 out of Bryant's residence in Grantville, is now a fixture in the community.
Many who attend the church have Vietnam War and biker backgrounds, and some testify they were addicted to drugs and alcohol before finding Jesus. Others said they had done time in prison.
Several church members said after a recent service that their lives have taken a 180-degree turn since they began attending the church.
