Paper to mentionMention their CIHR grant from 2024

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Aging Dear Professor Borrie, 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 Comprehensive Assessment of Neurodegeneration and Dementia (COMPASS-ND) Study Neuropsychology Battery of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA): Battery Development and Description." (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 "The Mobility, Exercise, and Cognition (MEC) Team: A Novel Approach to Dementia Prediction and Prevention by Integrating Cognitive, Mobility, and Exercise Interventions to Combat Neurodegeneration in Aging" (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]
