During the 1997-1998 academic year, Dr. Gruber was on leave as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy at the Treasury Department. From 2003-2006 he was a key architect of Massachusetts ambitious health reform effort, and in 2006 became an inaugural member of the Health Connector Board, the main implementing body for that effort.
