Biography

Stephanie Ann Richard, PhD, is the lead epidemiologist with the Acute Respiratory Infections group at the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program (IDCRP) and Henry M. Jackson Foundation, Inc. Her current research focus is on respiratory infections, primarily SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza, and she has led numerous investigations into the short- and long-term health effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection in military health system beneficiaries. Prior to joining IDCRP in 2019, she worked for over a decade at the Fogarty International Center, NIH, where she researched influenza (including the 1918 pandemic) and also investigated the relationships among infections, growth, and development in children from birth to five years of age in a multi-site international cohort study.
