Hey guys, so I'm planning on applying in 2024 and I applied to an Americorps position with the intention of applying to more in 2023 when the new cycle opens up (they organization I was accepted with has a weird cycle). However, I just learned yesterday that I got an interview at an NIH lab through the IRTA program. While it's not a hundred percent confirmed I heard that for this lab interviews are usually just a formality so I'm confident that I'll get it. But, now I'm just a bit confused about which one to do. They're both public health involved which is something that I am interested and will be a huge component of my applications and my career goals. I'm also pretty strong with research and non-clinical service so it's not like I need to prioritize one over the other. I"m leaning towards NIH because it's a guaranteed two year position whereas for Americorps I'd have to reapply at the end of my service in 2024 but I don't think it would be too much of a hassle. Do you guys have any opinions on which one I should do?
