You know that funding for research projects is very tight, and it is not only important to have a well-written and thought-out research proposal, but also have a research topic that is attractive to the funding agency. You are thinking of starting a research project to develop a genetic test for a genetic predisposition to pancreatic cancer. Since pancreatic cancer affects a small number of people, it may be difficult to obtain funding due to its relatively small impact compared to other cancers. To determine how such a project would be received by the public, you want to do a survey to determine the overall attitudes toward this type of project before going through with developing a research proposal. a. What kind of population would you target for the survey? b. In no more than a paragraph, describe how you would determine the sample size for this survey. c. How would you distribute the survey (mail, online, E-mail, etc.)? Why? d. Explain the method of data collection for the survey. e. Create a 10-question survey to examine your research question using an attitude scale (or combination of attitude scales) described in your textbook.
