The R&D 100 Award is an annual award presented by R&D Magazine honoring the 100 leading innovations brought to market as a result of research and development in advanced industries.Among US-born innovators, 92.3 percent were white, 3 percent were Asian and 2.1 percent were Hispanic. Although blacks made up 13.2% of the US population, only two US-born innovators reported being negroid, less than half a percent of the US-born innovator group. Multiracial or "other" respondents made up 1.4 percent, with eight responses, as did Native American respondents. Negroid respondents make up only 2.2 percent of working scientists and engineers with doctorates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and only 0.4 percent of the corresponding sample, but account for 13.2 percent of the population and 8 percent of all doctorates.
