Paper to mentionMention their CIHR grant from 2023

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Chronic Lung Disease Dear Professor Brauer, My name is [your name], and I am a [your current degree or role] at [your institution]. I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "Is memory in older adulthood influenced by changes in air pollution over the previous decade?: Examining concurrent trajectories in ambient PM2.5 and NO2 using sequence analysis." (2026), and it connects closely to my own work on [your research topic]. [One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "Lungs on Fire: Wildfire Smoke, Incident Diseases, Susceptible Populations, and Community Values in Canada" (2023), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction. Are you accepting new PhD students for [term and year]? I have attached my CV and transcripts, and I would be glad to talk at a time that suits you. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, [your name]
