Paper to mentionMention their CIHR grant from 2023

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Exercise Dear Professor Peters, 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 "Gait Speed Changes in Stroke Rehabilitation Motor Lower Extremity Randomized Controlled Trials by Intervention and Time Post-Stroke: A Meta-Analysis." (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 "Pursuing REduction in Fatigue After COVID-19 via Exercise and Rehabilitation (PREFACER). A randomized feasibility trial" (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]
