SciStarter Exchange
Customize the SciStarter Finder and Search Results to display opportunities in an iframe, aligned with your community's location and interests! Include an optional "Add Project or Event" feature to add your opportunities and/or invite local organizers to add opportunities to SciStarter and your site without leaving your site. Access on-demand analytics and download all projects and events added through your site anytime!

If you have many existing opportunities you'd like to display on SciStarter and your Exchange, please select one of the options to share your opportunities on our add opportunities page. That way all those opportunities will appear on SciStarter and on your Exchange, in addition to any others available to your community from SciStarter! You'll still have the option to use the Add Opportunity Form on your site to add future opportunities.
Example Exchange
SciStarter Australia uses an Exchange to provide a localized project finder for Australians. The blue part at the top is part of their site dressing, while the white part beneath is the Exchange.
An exchange is intended to be embedded on your site inside an iframe. It has no effect on the look of your site outside the iframe. The exchange is a high-level integration which provides a user interface which you can use and offer to your members. As a side-effect of offering the user interface directly, the exchange is also able to enforce data entry requirements which guarantee nice-looking records on SciStarter.
