Subject: Prospective PhD student: Black African Immigrant And Refugee Women Dear Professor Mboumba Bouassa, 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 "Veil-Based Collector Device Enabling Self-Collected Cervicovaginal Sampling for Site-of-Care Primary HPV-Based Cervical Cancer and Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: A Pilot Feasibility Study in Romania." (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 "Non-vaccine High-risk Human Papillomavirus genital infection, a neglected threat in underscreened immigrant and refugee women from Sub-Saharan Africa living 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]
