I am working on an epidemiology project that entails writing a grant proposal for a rare type of cancer. My main problem is that I am going to have a relatively small population to study which is a major limitation in a randomized control trial. How can I justify researching such a rare cancer with the application only being able to help a small group? The only points I can think of is the other potential application in other cancer treatments and just the general advancement of scientific knowledge. Any ideas would be greatly helpful. Thanks.
