Today arguments over the fate of billions of dollars in research funding from the National Institutes of Health are heading to a federal court in Boston. In 2022, the NIH funded about 80% of the world’s biomedical research grants. Now the Trump administration has been cutting that funding citing a litany of complaints, ranging from accusations that researchers are not adhering to directives to eliminate diversity programs, to the ongoing legal battle between the White House and Harvard. Massachusetts has seen more NIH and National Science Foundation grants terminated than any other state.

“Many of those grants, nearly all of them, were terminated midstream,” said Scott Delaney, a researcher in Harvard’s Chan School of Public Health. Delaney saw his own funding cut for research on the effects of extreme heat on people with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. “This is waste, by the way. You terminate a grant before you get a chance to actually reap the benefits of the grant.”

Delaney said he believes the lawsuit will be successful — but worries that it might not be enough.

“I also don’t think, despite that optimism, that the funding will come back in time to save my job,” Delaney said. “So, I don’t think that I’ll be working at Harvard in November. It is possible. Hope springs eternal, but I don’t think so.”

We will bring you updates as the case moves forward.

Four Things to Know

1. Here are some of the reasons people came out for the LGBTQ pride parade and protests against the Trump administration in Boston this weekend: “I’m sharing joy and frustration and rage,” said Ginelle Testa. “It’s not just a celebration, it’s about our rights and how they’re being taken away.” Karla Paschkis said she went to represent her daughter, who is trans and was too scared to attend herself. “She was happy to have me out here on her behalf,” Paschkis said. “This is a great turnout. It’s really positive. I’m delighted to see everybody out here, but I’m also very scared.”

And U.S. Senator Ed Markey said felt “the energy, the excitement, the joy, but also the resistance to Donald Trump.” There were also smaller marches in Massachusetts suburbs, and no arrests during Boston’s protests. See photos and video from the march here.

2. Last week the Trump administration started notifying 532,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela that it had revoked the legal status that allowed them to live and work in the U.S. Marline Amedee, CEO of the Haitian Community Partners Foundation in Brockton, called for a more just and compassionate alternative. Massachusetts is home to the third-largest Haitian population in the U.S.

“Some of them endure unimaginable hardship and trauma to come here, in good faith, under a federal program that offers a temporary pathway to safety. So you tell me that you’re going to send me back to a place of chaos?” Amedee said. “Instead of saying, 'yes, I’m just terminating this program,' work with us. Find other ways that we can adjust those people’s status.”

3. Strike one: 95% of workers at Fenway Part and MGM Music Hall voted to authorize a strike yesterday, GBH Esteban Bustillos reports. There’s still time for the workers of UNITE HERE Local 26 and their employer, food service giant Aramark, to come to an agreement. But if a strike does happen, it would be the first in Fenway’s history.

“No one takes striking lightly, it’s a big deal to do it,” union president Carlos Aramayo said. “But we had an extraordinary turnout at the vote. And if you were to ask me, 'Is a strike likely?’ I would say yes.” An Aramark spokesperson said the company will keep negotiating.

4. Gillette Stadium is set to host seven matches in the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup, which organizers expect will bring about 2 million visitors to the area. “And you know what comes with that? Money,” Gov. Maura Healey said last week. “It’s a chance for us to showcase who we are. I think the fans, — visitors from all over the world — are gonna have a fantastic experience.”

Organizers are also making plans to build 20 soccer fields across underserved communities in the state, said Mike Loynd, president and CEO of the Boston World Cup 2026 organizing committee. He promised to announce the locations of those mini-pitches “very soon.”

Go through security before you get to the airport? Logan will pilot ‘remote terminals’ next year.

Picture this: you arrive for a departing flight at Logan International Airport having already checked in to your flight, dropped off your luggage and gone through security. A shuttle bypasses the long lines at the terminal and drops you off right by your gate — hopefully with enough time to get a cup of coffee before the flight.

That’s the idea Massport CEO Rich Davey is pitching.

“You would be able to park, or get dropped off; go through TSA security; check your bag; get on a sterile bus; and then be dropped off on the sterile side of the airport,” Davey said, using the word “sterile” to mean areas people can only enter after a security check.

“This is really cool,” he said. “Not really anyone in the country does this.”

There are still many details to sort out before this plan can come to fruition: how many people could go through these security checks every day? Where would the remote terminal be located? Where can Massport test this program? (Davey floated Framingham and Braintree as candidates.) And how much will it cost? “The details have not been fully worked out yet, so we’re not able to say more at this time,” Massport’s Jennifer Mehigan said in a statement.

But there is some precedent for this.

“The first one was in Brussels for the World’s Fair in 1958,” said Matthew Coogan, a transportation consultant and former director of the New England Transportation Institute. “I went to check my bags there in 1959, when I was 12, and I’ve been studying it ever since.”

London, Hong Kong and Vienna have built remote terminals too. And Coogan said he suggested building one in Boston when he was undersecretary of transportation for Gov. Michael Dukakis in the 1980s. That proposal didn’t go anywhere, but Coogan said he was encouraged to hear it considered again.

“The question is, how much do you want to serve the passenger?” he said. “If you really wanna serve the passenger, you should do it.”
