Paper to mentionMention their CIHR grant from 2025

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Immunohistochemistry Dear Professor Batt, 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 "Standardized Single-Session Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test for Measuring Peak Oxygen Uptake, Oxygen On/Off Kinetics, and Skeletal Muscle Oxygenation in ICU Survivors-ICU Combined Assessment of Cardiorespiratory Exercise (ICU-CARE) Study: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Observational Study." (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 "Operationalizing Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) therapy in the Intensive Care Unit: Developing tools, technologies and automation to combat Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness (ICUAW)" (2025), 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]
