The last ten years have witnessed a tremendous increase in our knowledge of the optical light curve properties of supernovae (SNe) of all types. However, comparatively little is still known of the evolution of the near-infrared light curves of these same objects. The lack of IR data has hindered our ability to measure bolometric light curves, which are a fundamental prediction of all supernova models. Infrared data also offer significant promise in improving the precision of both type Ia and type II SNe as cosmological standard candles. We propose to carry out a long-term, systematic survey of the JHK light curves of nearby supernovae using ANDICAM on the queue-scheduled YALO 1- m telescope. This unique instrument/telescope combination will be used to obtain optimally-sampled UBVRIJHK light curves of ~3 SNe per year. The data obtained through this program will provide a fundamental reference for supernova studies for years to come.
