Higher educational institutions (HEIs) pursue the achievement, enhancement, and sustainability of high level of quality education. Aside from instruction and community extension, research is considered as one of the relevant functions and parameters of quality standards among HEIs. Research being the center of contemporary higher educational pursuit created the reverberating voice of desire among faculty members and students to be equipped with the rigors of research. Training, therefore, is of primordial relevance in the continuous professional development. The main concern of the study was the determination of the research competencies and training needs of the convenient samples of 944 faculty members and students at the Graduate Studies from a private Catholic Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the City of Malolos during the First Trimester of the Academic Year 2021-2022. The study utilized a descriptive research design which found out that the graduate students possessed research competence while the faculty members had high competence in research; thus, based on the findings of the study, a Faculty Development Plan and a Student Research Competency Enhancement should include training, write-shops and webinars in the following research skills: accessing research resources, scientific writing and editing, authoring and translating modules and books, preparing scientific posters and presentations. Similarly, professional development on managing with limited resources is needed to address the leadership skill. Budget should be allocated for external resource speakers or from the pool of internal resource speakers. The modality of the training will be synchronous through Google Meet.
