How it works Within universities in the United
States, students can perform independent research
(typically lab projects in the form of advanced
honors research projects). There is no cost for
the student, but they must find a campus faculty
member whose lab they may work in. By default,
the successful approval of any student project
brings onboard a full research lab and PhD mentor
at no cost. Using this mechanism, MFURI utilizes
undergraduate students to perform research to
benefit the SENS agenda. As a way to generate
student interest, MFURI has developed a lucrative
scholarship program. Grants are also provided to
cover basic costs of the lab work such as
disposables and other necessary
equipment/materials. kelsey.moody_at_mfoundation.org
