This study was conducted to determine the different research challenges being faced by the faculty-researchers in Isabela State University-Echague, Isabela. Data were gathered using survey questionnaire. The study revealed that most of the respondents were female, married and with master’s degree. Further, most of the respondents were Instructor and Assistant Professor. As to the perceived challenges, it was found out that faculty-researchers are having difficulty in choosing appropriate statistical tool for their research including writing research report. In addition, the respondents are also experiencing challenges like lack delay in the issuance of designations, long process for the approval of the research proposal and disbursement of allotted funding. In addition to this, the study also revealed that female, married and with lower academic rank and academic achievement has higher observation on the different challenges in doing research than their counterparts.
