The Minorities in Research Science Emerald Honors are the premier awards for African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Native Americans working in the research sciences. The MIRS Emerald Honors provide high-profile recognition of their achievements that would otherwise go unheralded.

The Emeralds showcase not only the achievements of minorities producing the innovation that powers American industry, but also of corporate leaders who see the possibilities and opportunities to be gained by blending diverse talents and abilities.

These honorees come from varied backgrounds and have diverse skills and interests. Some have demonstrated leadership over a long career, while others, still at the beginning of their professional lives, already are making themselves noticed. Some have excelled in leadership or technical skills, while others have demonstrated excellence beyond the workplace. But each is worthy of recognition and honor.
