The SENS Foundation Academic Initiative was founded in 2008 as the Methuselah Foundation Undergraduate Research Initiative (MFURI). The Initiative took on its current name in 2009, when SENS Foundation itself was established. Since its creation, the Academic Initiative has guided students and provided them with funding for numerous research projects, resulting in several publications.
