Procurement of reagents and equipment is a common yet often overlooked responsibility of a Clinical Research Associate. Like most other things in the field, it's necessary to understand what type of organization you are applying for since different organizations handle procurement differently regarding finding, getting quotes, and budgets. Your interviewer will likely ask you situation-based questions to understand how you outline your process and how well you can explain your steps to others. Provide an example illustrating your experience in bringing new equipment into the lab.

"In my current position, I was tasked with finding a new centrifuge. Based on internet research, in addition to asking colleagues in nearby departments, I decided on three companies and centrifuges to fulfill our internal commitment. I completed all necessary admin paperwork to get the centrifuge ordered. When delivered, I followed all instructions provided by the company and the technician that delivered the product to ensure proper installation and running of the equipment."
