Subject: Prospective PhD student: Clinical Trials Dear Professor Lawler, 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 "The Society of Critical Care Cardiology-Rationale, blueprint, and lessons learned in the creation of a new multidisciplinary professional organization." (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 "Canadian Critical Care Trials Group COVID-19 Response: defining critical care capacity in Canada; testing treatments through large-scale adaptive clinical trials; & establishing the evidence base to inform clinical and health system management decisions" (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]
