Research is one of the four-fold functions of a higher education faculty aside from instruction, extension and production. Due to the demands of working in the academe, this function sometimes is not fully practiced as the large portion is allocated to instruction. To assess the capabilities of the faculty members, this study was conducted using descriptive method of research. The findings show that faculty members in terms of research capabilities along the identified research processes, faculty members are capable of preparing statement of the problem or objectives, budgetary requirements, preparing survey questionnaires using Google forms, textual presentations while they are somewhat capable in fulfilling the suggestions or recommendations during peer reviews. The major factor affecting them is time constraints or lack of time to do research while their major expectation in research function is participation in continuing education programs on research. Based on the results of the study, College of Business and Public Administration’s Program for Accentuating and Mastering Innovation and Learning for Young Research Advocates (CBPAMILYA): A Capacity Development Program was developed as basis for interventions.
