I have spectroscopically identified over 30 brown dwarfs with low-gravity spectral features indicating ages of 5-50 Myr. While over two-thirds of are likely members of the young (8-50Myr) loose associations in the southern hemisphere, the other objects are far removed from the young associations of the south and suggest one or more previously unrecognized groups in the northern hemisphere. I propose to lead a multi-faceted project aimed at understanding the nature and origin of a new population of juvenile brown dwarfs. This investigation will have ramifications for our understanding of the formation and evolution of disks, brown dwarfs, planets and, with the possible identification of new young stellar associations, star formation at all masses.
