	Center for Gender and Peacebuilding Established in October 2009, the Center for Gender and Peacebuilding coordinates the gender-related work of USIP. The Center, headed by Kathleen Kuehnast, reflects the Institute’s commitment to gender awareness in both its analytical and practitioner work on conflict and peacebuilding.
	Center for Post-Conflict Peace and Stability Operations Peace doesn't automatically return when the guns stop firing or an agreement is signed. This team works to advise newly-forming governments and institutions, promote and maintain community reconciliation, and help different groups on the ground to coordinate their efforts to maintain security and provide services.

	Constitutional Development in Iraq ROL provided technical assistance to Iraq's Constitutional Commission and its successor the Constitutional Review Committee, which in July 2009 submitted a comprehensive set of proposed constitutional amendments to Iraq’s Parliament. ROL’s current efforts focus on implementation and realization of key constitutional rights, institutions, and processes, including the relationship between Iraq’s national, regional, and provincial governments and minority rights.

	Iraq Study Group The Iraq Study Group made a forward-looking, independent assessment of the current and prospective situation on the ground in Iraq and how it affects the surrounding region as well as U.S. interests. The effort was undertaken at the urging of several members of Congress with agreement of the White House. A final report was released to Congress, the White House, and the public on December 6, 2006.
