The unique cultural and administrative context of the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE) in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) underscores the need for localized and evidence-based educational strategies. This study sought to assess the level of research management, the extent of research capability, and the challenges encountered by teachers and research coordinators in conducting research-related activities. A descriptive-correlational study was employed, involving 379 randomly selected respondents who completed a structured survey questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean and Spearman’s rho correlation. Findings revealed that while teachers and research coordinators demonstrated a fair level of research management and advanced research capability, they faced a high level of challenges in conducting research. A moderate significant correlation was found between research management level and research capability, while a very weak but significant relationship emerged between research capability and the extent of challenges experienced. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to strengthen research management systems and mitigate barriers to research engagement in the region.
