Landed a postbacc interview! Any advice for how to prepare? I’ve done a few RA interviews before but never an NIH one.

Do I go into this with a PowerPoint of my own research experience, interest, potential questions, and read all of their papers before hand? Or is this more of a come with general knowledge and interest situation? I want to be prepared and not waste their time, but don’t want to be overwhelming them if the postbacc vibe isn’t to have it all planned out.

I’d also love any general advice on this as well, especially on how to stand out since I’ve yet to land a full time research position despite getting a few interviews. Thank you in advanced!
