While I have not used the NSF API, its documentation mentions
"publicationResearch" and "publicationConference". These might give you
the citations you're looking for.
As far as I know, each agency runs their own infrastructure for
reporting on grants and therefore will have their own API.
You might also try searching Google Scholar and other literature
databases for the grant number to see where it's mentioned in the text
of an article. Publishers are increasingly storing such data in article
metadata as well, so in the long run, I expect this kind of searching on
publications will become easier.

The NSF has a simple API for querying grants. See -->
https://www.research.gov/common/webapi/awardapisearch-v1.htm Based on what I
read, no citation data is associated with awards. In other words, after an award
has been granted, list the publications associated with it. Am I missing something?
For example, here is a link to an award -->
https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1449469 At the bottom of the
output is a list (of one) citation. I'd like to extracxt that citation,
programatically and without screen scraping. (Yuck.)
More broadly, given an award identifier from NSF, NIH, etc, how might you
suggest (programmatically) finding citations generated from the awarded
research?
