Paper to mentionMention their CIHR grant from 2025

Subject: Prospective PhD student: Biostatistics Dear Professor Abrahamowicz, 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 "Bias due to interval censored outcomes in a study of flare risk after hydroxychloroquine taper/cessation in systemic lupus erythematosus." (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 "New statistical methods for assessing cumulative effects of past and recent values of time-varying risk and prognostic factors: development, validation and real-world epidemiological and clinical applications" (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]
