Generally, I imagine meta-science as being more focused on specific aspects of the academic ecosystem and scientific progress to be related more to the general properties of scientific advances. There is clearly an overlap there, but I’m not sure where exactly to set the boundaries.
I think the overlap would be a if say, in the field of survey methodology, someone discovers a new way to measure bias in surveys—this would be a meta-science improvement but also scientific progress in the field of survey methodology
I’ve added a Meta-Science tag. I’d love for some help with clarifying the distinction between it and Scientific Progress.
