Subject: Prospective PhD student: African, Caribbean And Black Dear Professor Kehoe MacLeod, 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 "Going the distance: a cross-sectional geospatial analysis quantifying province-wide inequities in travel-based access, and fragility of access to French-language primary care provided by family physicians in Ontario, Canada." (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 "Analyzing food policies in Canada to identify windows of opportunity for equity-focused food service reform in the long-term care sector in pursuit of person-centered care for African, Caribbean and Black residents." (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]
