Subject: Prospective PhD student: Hepatitis C Dear Professor Barnett, 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 "Correction: Scaling up point-of-care hepatitis C testing in Canada: protocol for a multilevel implementation science study of clinical processes, barriers, facilitators and implementation strategies (SCALE-POCT 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 "Building Canadian and Global Capacity for Nurse-Led Implementation, Evaluation and Dissemination of Models of Care for Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among People Who Inject Drugs" (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]
