Subject: Prospective PhD student: Gender Dear Professor Vinson, 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 "Corrigendum to "Differences in mortality by donor sex and age in heart transplantation: An individual patient data meta-analysis" [JHLT Open 11 (2026) 100466]." (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 "Designing and Implementing a Mandatory Transplant Education Program to Address Gender Inequities in Access to Kidney Transplant in Nova Scotia" (2024), 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]
