Subject: Prospective PhD student: Care Pathways Dear Professor Reynolds, 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 "Developmental polychlorinated biphenyl mixture exposure promotes selective neural alterations: An immunohistochemical study in adult rat offspring."

[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "Leading the Way: Leveraging community strengths to optimally support infant and early mental health (IEMH) through Implementation of IEMH Care Pathways into existing systems that work with young children and their families." (2022), 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]
