Skin cancer is more easily treated at its onset. To improve rates of early detection, our team developed a free Skin Cancer Curriculum for Medical Schools. ALL students, not only those studying dermatology, learn to detect skin cancer and how to conduct a full-body skin exam.

The Outrun the Sun Melanoma Research Scholar Program supports young investigators who represent some of the nation's top medical institutions. We are honored to support these scholars who help pioneer life-saving discoveries that benefit patients around the world. 

Outrun the Sun is accepting applications for our 2023 Melanoma Research Scholar Program. Funding supports young investigators whose careers in science show great promise and who also demonstrate potential to make substantial contributions to the field. Application deadline is September 30.

Giving people and organizations the tools they need to teach sun safety is vital to giving our kids a lifetime of good skin health. We applaud our partners across America whether they are Girl Scout troop leaders, homeschool parents, camp counselors, or teachers. YOU make the difference!
