[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "Black People's Health Matters: Community engagement to implement evidence-based HIV prevention practices in Black communities in Canada" (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]
