The deadline for the Cook County Shop Talk funding opportunity offered by Cook County Department of Public Health has been extended from July 30 to Aug. 6.

• Eligibility: Municipalities in suburban Cook County, excluding Chicago, Evanston, Oak Park, Skokie, and Stickney Township, which are served by their own state-certified public health departments.
• Awards: A total of $475,000 in funding is available. Up to four awards are available, including up to two awards in south suburban Cook County and up to two awards in west suburban Cook County. Individual awards will range from $118,750 to $237,500.
